ACC97: CommitTrans Help Topic Uses dbFlushOSCacheWrites Constant (165829)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q165829 Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Access 97 Help topic "BeginTrans, CommitTrans, Rollback
Methods" contains the following statements.
In the Syntax section:
workspace.BeginTrans|CommitTrans[dbFlushOSCacheWrites]|Rollback
In the third paragraph of the Remarks section:
In a Microsoft Jet workspace, you can include the dbFlushOSCacheWrites
constant with CommitTrans. This forces the database engine to
immediately flush all updates to disk, instead of caching them
temporarily.
These statements are incorrect.
RESOLUTION
The dbFlushOSCacheWrites constant was changed to dbForceOSFlush in
Microsoft Access 97. Use the dbForceOSFlush constant or its numeric value,
which is 1.
MORE INFORMATION
The dbForceOSFlush constant only works if your database resides on a
Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT computer. If the database file resides
on another type of server, such as Novell Netware or Banyan Vines,
dbForceOSFlush does not correctly command the operating system to flush all updates to disk.
