Every once in a while this error msg appears when running our VB app.  It
apparently will go away if you exit windows and restart so I am guessing that
a temp file is no longer in sync with what VB expects.

What causes this error?
How can it be fixed during runtime?

I would appreciate any insight anyone could give.

Thanks,  Lyle

You're using an access-db????

Take a good look at db-locking tecniques.
Data has changed means excactly that: the data you are editing has been changed
and written by another user.

It is a couple of good articles about this in the KB.

Hope this helps...

I have seen this happen when only part of a database record is corrupted, for e.g.
when a memo or ole field is corrupted but the index field is intact.  We tried
repairing the db but it didn't seem to repair some memo or ole fields.  I think this
happened to us because of bad drives in our file server. What he had to do was
browse the table in Access carefully until we hit the record that causes a "Data has
changed error."  Usually you will be able to figure out which fields where damaged
and could possibly recover them from a backup.

I would repair the database first.  If it happens again, then it could be a bad drive or
some network problem.  Good luck.
