another 4 am day….

Ok, 4:20am wake up call this morning. It was the usual database error. I ran the repair that Access suggested using.

That has worked well in the past here, but it doesn’t *solve* the problem. Just starts everything, which is what we want.

I looked at the file size. 250 kB or so. I say screw it, and I run the “compact database” command. File size is now down to 180 kB.

Only way to know if it works is tomorrow morning!

edit:

The day ended for me at 6:50 when I walked out the door. Stupid Biesse router was acting up. The Italians are going to remote into it tonight, and hopefully have solutions for us in the morning. Which means an early day tomorrow as well. Maybe I should just go back into the operations/production side of things again. A bit more pay, probably similar hours to what I am actually doing now, rather than the supposed to ( 50 to 6o vs 40 to 50) We shall see
