Auto shutdown Access database Compact and repair without the delays of waiting for all users to exit the Access database. Automatically close all front-end databases to allow back-end tables to be maintained.

Auto shutdown message
Auto shutdown message

When you trigger the close instruction from the back-end tables mechanism, each front-end database user receives the above message before their instance of the database shuts down.

You can now compact/repair the database within five minutes of an issue being reported instead of having to wait for all users to exit their databases. You can also easily compact/repair every day as a precautionary measure to prevent or reduce database failures.

This service includes:

  1. An addition of a system status table in the back-end Access database
  2. The auto shutdown mechanism to be added to the main build of your front-end Access database.
  3. All tables checked for any corruption and misuse of the field types likely to lead to corruption.
  4. Demonstration of the auto shutdown mechanism installed on your Access database.

It will be up to you to distribute the new front-end containing the shutdown mechanism to all of your database users. Any users left using the older version front-end will continue to lock the back-end tables.
