How To Detecting and Repairing Problems in Access 2003
To help you keep your Office 2003 suite of programs
running at its best, Office comes with its own diagnostic and repair
tools. If you find that Access is not behaving as you think it should,
its core files might have been damaged or inadvertently deleted. If
Access encounters a problem itself, it prompts you to run its
self-diagnostic tool, Detect and Repair.
Running the Detect and Repair tool restores Access' default settings
and finds and fixes problems that might diminish the performance of
Access. When you run Detect and Repair, you can choose to preserve any
of the shortcuts that you have created. You can also choose whether you
want to preserve your customized settings or return Access to its
default settings. Before you begin the Detect and Repair procedure, make
sure you close all programs that are running (if not, you will be
prompted to do so during the procedure). If the Detect and Repair
procedure doesn't fix the problem you are encountering, try reinstalling
Access.
