Title: Buffalo automatically creates backup mdb files that I don't want
Post by: apzu_emr on October 05, 2009, 02:50:18 AM

Hi,

When I edit an Access 2007 database on my Buffalo network drive, it automatically creates a backup .mdb file. For example, if my database is called 'SampleDB.accdb', it will create a copy called 'Database.mdb'. The next time I edit my database, it will create another called 'Database1.mdb'.

I have a backup job running on this drive that makes a weekly backup copy, but I don't think this is related. I also don't think that this has to do with Access itself since this behavior doesn't happen when the file is stored on a local hard drive.

Does anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks.

Sorry, should have included this in the first post:

Model number and firmware: LS-WTGL/R1-V3 F/W 3.07

We are accessing the drive over a windows share.
