Error after Zip/gzip Access 97 .mdb's
Greetings-
The problem I've been having is now reproducible, so I'm posting to see
if others have similar problems. I'm working under Access 97, Windows
NT 4.0 (SP3), on a variety of machines. My databases typically have
quite a bit of code stored in modules (actually, often just one big
module). Consistently, when I either zip or gzip them to move from one
machine to another (via modem or diskette), then unzip them, any attempt
to save a module is met with an Access Violation, Dr. Watson, and the
demise of my access session. The applications work fine for users, but
it is impossible to edit or re-save modules.
Compacting and Repairing the databases do no good. However, Copying the
entire module to the clipboard, creating a new module, pasting the text
in, and deleting the original module works. This seems a little odd to
me. So:
1.) Has anyone else experienced these problems, or can anyone else
reproduce them?
2.) Does anyone know of a MS fix for them?
Many thanks
Andy Perrin
