I developed an Access (2013) application/database which is shared in a network location among several users.
The database quickly grows in size and we use Compact & Repair from time to time to reduce it. However, today, compacting made the database unusable ("ID is not an index in this table", "AutoExec can't be found", etc.). I understand it has been corrupted.
I've tried restoring older available versions but the problem persists. The thing is, unless compacting, everything seems to be working flawlessly.
So now I am facing the dilemma:Should I go back to a significantly old version or can I keep the current version and let it grow without compacting?
