You stated something *very* telling in your response: "at least once a day I
get a server disconnect message
but it only seems like for an instant as I can continue working normally"
Danger! Access is *very* sensitive to such things. If you're seeing a quick
server disconnect message around once a day, the disconnecting is probably
happening a lot more often than that. And if Access is in the middle of a
write operation when one of those nanosecond hiccups takes place, your DB
can be hosed. I'd definitely have IT look into that and fix the problem
ASAP. Also, if you're enterprise is growing so, perhaps your company might
want to look into a true back-end database engine, such as SQL Server, which
uses transaction rollbacks and other corruption-defying tricks to keep
things happy and healthy.
FYI: refreshing the links is a good idea, especially with the back end
server changes, and the move to AD. I usually suggest that.

Subject: [mso] Re: access
we refresh the links every time we run the db because the underlying
mde gets re-written. we've recently moved to Windows Active Directory
as well. the couple of us the work in the DB are all moved over and
Novell has been reinstalled. there has been a lot of server changes on
the IT side. also, at least once a day I get a server disconnect message
but it only seems like for an instant as I can continue working
normally. I'll look into that in more detail. thanks. /glenda
