Everyone is receiving the following error trying to post to my forum:

Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while writing to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_Access_save_new_topic_data
File Name:- new_post.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft JET Database Engine
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again.

Access db version. How can I fix this? Please advise. Thanks.

This error suggests that your Access database has become corrupted.

Access is a flat desktop file and not a proper database, so often becomes corrupted when used as a forum backend as it can not cope with the amount of reads and writes performed on the database unless.

If you have more than a handful of visitors a day you should look at using mySQL or SQL Server as the database to prevent these types of issues from happening.

As a temporary measure to get the database going, download it, open it in MS Access and select 'compact and repair database' from the Tools menu. This will hopefully fix the database.

found the bad record and deleted it. It's good now. Will have to look into MYSQL.

Thanks!
