Access Prompts to enter password when trying to Compact/Repair DB
It's me again with another possible MS Access bug!
This issue: MS Access asks for my database password when I go to compact/repair. I enter the password correctly and it doesn't take it..
What is going on!?
Thanks,
Justin
- When and how are you attempting to compact and repair this accdb?
Did this happen previously with the same accdb? Or was there a time when the compact and repair completed after you supplied the password?
Where is the accdb located? In a local folder or on a LAN? Is it in a Trusted Location?- Never happened before. First time seeing this. The accdb file is located locally on my PC.
You can check the list here. It is depressingly long. I am not sure I specifically see your problem there, but with so many recent bugs, it does bear thinking about.
You could try removing the password temporarily to see if the C& R completes without it.
I'll also share this with others who might have related info.
- Hi, did you ever find a workaround? I'm having the same issue.
