Corruption in MS Access database due to affect on System Resources

by John

It is the data which we enter into our MS Access databases and to make the process simple, forms are there. The Ms Access forms make the editing, insertion and replacing of the records very easy and closer to graphical environment. But in few of the cases when you open and close a form repeatedly hundred of times in a MS Access database during the same session, you may encounter an error messages that announces:



“There isn't enough memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again.”



Or



“Microsoft Access was unable to create a window. The system is out of resources or memory. Close unneeded programs and try again.

For more information on freeing memory, search the Microsoft Windows Help index for 'memory, troubleshooting'.”



In these cases you may also feel that the system is responding very slowly. Actually the reason is that when each time you open an Access form in Windows, a small amount of GDI Resources are taken and is not released.



The GDI resources are the core components of any OS that are responsible for providing the interface for graphical objects including fonts and formatted text. The GDI interacts with the device drivers on behalf of applications. When the form is opened rarely, they remained unnoticed but in case they are opened very often or for long period of time, you may feel the performance problems and out-of-memory errors. In addition to that the frequent opening of the form may also result in the corruption and in these situations, Access Repair is required.



To resolve out the issue Microsoft has recommended having Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a). This service pack will sort out your problems for future but is unable to repair the already corrupted Access databases. Also it has been suggested that to open and close the form repeatedly, one should use SendKeys method.



And to repair the corrupted Access databases, Access Repair software are there for your help. It’s an obvious fact that the databases and forms that are opened frequently are of high importance to the users’ point of view.
