Re: Why does system crash when Compact and Repair Database is used

R J Kershaw <rjkers...@discussions.microsoft.com>

It's a 3-month old single machine (Dell)
The hardware is unaltered
The operating system is original and updated only by MS automatic updates
The application software (MS Office 2003 Pro) is as pre-installed.
No network connection / single-user with full rights
McAfee Security Center is running, with rights granted to MS Access
Thanks for your response,
R J Kershaw
