Microsoft Access Database App Error 3046
Could you confirm, has an update been rolled out that may solve this?
What is the build number so can check if it's been installed?
Thanks
MicrosoftJulian-Cooper-KPP There was no build update that would impact this, but there were configuration changes (each time Access starts, it downloads configuration changes that may change behavior) that were made on Jan 3 that might impact this.
- Are there any details on the actual changes as its almost impossible to test this issue without doing it in a live environment due to the irregularity of it. At present, I have moved the back end db to the rds session host where the front end app launches from as the assumption is its network related and this overcomes this but this limits all users onto a single session host so load balancing goes out the window.

Julian-Cooper-KPP There was a significant change to address some of the issues around the errors with corrupt/inconsistent databases, which was being rolled out to production, but we have turned back off, and it is possible that this change could cause the 3128/3046 errors. That change has been turned off via configuration so if users are still seeing this issue after restarting Access, then there must be some other cause. As many posters have pointed out, this may legitimately be a case where there is locking contention (multiple users trying to modify the same data at the same time), so it may just be an application error or appropriate behavior, it is hard to say without access to the application reporting the error. We do not have evidence that this is an issue being experienced broadly.
Shane Groff We work in a live environment. Since the new configuration, the errors occur less frequently. So it had to have an impact.
Our code has not changed in 6-8 weeks. So that we can rule out that it is a programming error. The hardware has also not changed.
