Access inventory not working
Since my last windows update my inventory file will no longer work. I have had several people attempt to repair with no luck. Can anyone help me? Otherwise I will lose years of sales history and all ...
That is what what was happening, I thought the backup I was paying for was enough however I was able to get in touch with the person who created the file for me. He came by my office and had to rework some of the coding. From what I understand when Windows updated some of the older code in his access program is no longer being recognized. Again I know very little about computers and may have stated that wrong. I do want to say thank you for responding to my post and being willing to take your time to try and help me.
Great. Glad you got it fixed.
Note that it is REALLY important that you have the ACCDB file for your application, not just the ACCDE file. If the creator is not available, that is the one file any Access developer would need to get you back up and running. So make sure you have that file, and store it in a safe place or two.

- I will ask him about this. Thank you again
- I'm a bit more belligerent on this point. Don't "ask about it". Demand a copy of the original accdb, if you don't have the current version already. Put it in the safe with your gold and jewelry and other valuables. After all, without it, you could " ... lose years of sales history and all of [your] currant inventory info."
- Thanks, after this experience I have decided to not only have a copy but have multiple back ups. I do appreciate the advice on the accdb file as I have no clue about the difference. I am blessed that the person who wrote the file is a personal friend and willing to fix and show me the proper backup to have. Thanks again to both of you.
