I recently upgraded from Windows XP (32-bit) to Windows 7 (64-bit) and am having problem with an Access database.
I use a shareware program called SlowGold (to slow down musical passages without changing the pitch). SlowGold stores info in an Access database. When you install Slowgold, it creates an empty slowgold.mdb file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\SlowGold. I used the program a little to very that it worked under Windows 7, which created a few records in the database.
I opened the original slowgold.mdb file with Access and see that it contains just a few records (the file size is 128KB). I then renamed the original file to end with '.old' and copied slowgold.mdb file from a backup to the SlowGold directory (and called it slowgold.mdb). The file from the backup is 260KB.
When I open the 260KB file with Access, Access shows only a record or two in each table (actually it shows the exact same data as slowgold.mdb.old). If I rename the 260KB file to something other than slowgold.mdb (i.e. slowgold_new.mdb) and open it with Access, it shows all of my data. If I rename it back to slowgold.mdb, it shows almost no data. It shows the same info after a reboot (cold start of Windows).
I have updated slowgold.mdb using Microsoft Access in the past. (I am careful to shut down the Slowgold program before opening the database in Access.) This is also the same release of Access that I was using prior to the Windows 7 upgrade.
Anyone have a clue as to why Access is showing the data for the 128KB file when I open the 260KB file? I have searched Google for this and came up empty.
I have another PC running Windows 7 and if I open the 260KB file on it (with a file name of slowgold.mdb) it shows all of my data.
