"Network Connection May Have Been Lost" Error in Access

When you try to compile a database, try to view the programming code of a database module, try to create a new MDE file, or try to execute programming code in a Microsoft Access database, you may get any of the following error messages:

“Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost”

Or

“This action will reset the current code in break mode”

After these error messages, you won’t be able to do any of the above tasks and the Access will be closed unexpectedly. After these error messages, you may fail to even access the database.

Cause

These error messages generally occur if you have installed the VB6.dll file of the same version of Access you are running. If you have, then the problem is occurred due to compatibility problems of Microsoft Access.

Typically, these files start conflicting and the database or MDB file gets corrupted and becomes inaccessible. Such situations cause the catastrophic situations for the user and can lead to the nightmare of data loss. So, it becomes mandatory for the database administrator or a general user to repair the database as soon as possible for smooth running of the business.

Resolution

Microsoft has provided a simple solution to work around this problem. You can do it by following these simple steps:

1. Open the database is design view and save its code as a text file

2. Create a new blank database and import the damaged database

3. Restore the code of the database from the text files

4. Save the database with different name

This procedure works in some of the cases. But there is no guarantee that it will work in your case also. If it won’t, then you need to repair the corrupted database at any cost because it is business critical and it is important to save your business.
