PRB: "Out of Disk Space" Error Makes Paradox Table Unusable

Article ID: Q92739
Creation Date: 15-NOV-1992
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996 The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you are editing a Paradox table in Microsoft Access and run out of disk space, you may receive the following error message:

   Out of Disk Space

You continue to receive the same error message, even after you free up additional disk space. RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, follow these steps:

Delete the attachment to the remote Paradox table by selecting the table name in the table list and pressing the DELETE key.
Rename both the table (xxx.DB) and its index (xxx.PX) to some other names.
Recreate the attachment, and then try attaching to the remote Paradox table again.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.
