Already tried that - no luck.
Another note. The client had reinstalled everything before the problem
became aparent. I then proceeded to reinstall CF4.5ent and MDAC2.5. I had to
reinstall CF twice as my first attempt didn't install properly - the
iscf.dll file wasn't installed to the server - the second attempt worked
just fine, but the problem is still there.
I'm wondering if the problem might be totally unrelated to CF?....I remember
coming up with something quite similar a while back only with a SQL7.0
datasource. Turned out, in that case that the table in question just so
happened to have been sitting on a faulty drive sector. This is not the case
in this situation as the same code is used in several locations for several
similar sub-sites on the same server and consequently using separate access
datasources for each sub site, each of which are stored in different areas.
I even tried moving a datasource just to rule this situation out.
One more thing which springs to mind is the "maintain datasource connection"
setting. I'm aware that if this setting is checked and someone attempts to
overwrite the access database with another of the same name, say from a CD
backup, it can cause some problems, simply due to sharing violations. Now,
I'm wondering if this would have had any effect in the reverse order i.e.
The client made a copy of all databases, as well as source code to CD before
reformatting the drive. They don't, however remember if connection maintain
setting was checked or not at that point.
Any more ideas?
