topic Personal geodatabase issue...missing records. in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/personal-geodatabase-issue-missing-records/m-p/349993#M20063 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, can someone help me identify the source of this problem please? Each month I&nbsp;consolidate data&nbsp;in an .mdb and share it on a network drive.&nbsp; The .mdb&nbsp;is way short of the personal geodatabase max limits and we have been using this method for years with no problems until the last 2 months. Now we are getting intermittent "failed to connect to database and unrecognized database format" errors.&nbsp; Our staff are working on various versions of ArcMap desktop from 10.3 to 10.7. The .mdb was in 9.2 and I have upgraded it but there are missing records when I try to export it. The upgrade did not seem to help but I've tried export to shape, .gdb, etc. but always get the same number of records upon export with a significant number missing. There are some old posts about repairing this in Access. Is this still the case? Anyone have any other ideas? I also have read where there might be some MS 32-bit vs Arc 64-bit conflicts but I need to retrieve the data from the .mdb. Thank you!</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 27 Dec 2019 23:38:38 GMT KristalWalsh 2019-12-27T23:38:38Z Personal geodatabase issue...missing records. https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/personal-geodatabase-issue-missing-records/m-p/349993#M20063 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, can someone help me identify the source of this problem please?
