Repair and Compact may be necessary - how and what doe this mean?

working away, entering data into .gpj file. 

Suddenly 

...then....

How do I progress? What happened? 

  • Hello,

    This message could be suggesting of a corrupted database.  All databases can get corrupted. If that happens within gINT, you can use this application to repair the file. Further, like most databases, the records are not actually deleted in the Microsoft ACCESS files that gINT uses. They are merely marked as deleted and will not be shown. This utility will remove the deleted records.

    In this current project, go to the Utilities Tab. If this project gives error when launching, then you will have to open gINT through may be any other project.  Under Utilities select Repair/Compact Database > if you are able to open the current project then select the tab saying current project or else pick the project by selecting it through the File explorer button ... > and then hit execute.

     

    If the corruption is severe, the file may not repair in which case you may have to start over.
