Cannot convert Access mdb to Access accdb in Access 2013

When I try to Save and mdb file as accdb, I get the message "Could not use <name>; file already in use.". I have full control over the folder (also owner of folder) and there is a ldb file.
What else can I look at that prevents this file from being saved as accdb?

Hi,
Please try the workaround:
    •Open the mdb and change the database's start up form to none from
switchboard
    •Convert it now to .accdb
    •Open your accdb, change the database's start up form back to switchboard.

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
Please help.

NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
I have added this .reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
"LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
"DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
"AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
"Description"="My file server"
"AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
The same problem still persists.
Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

How to convert the MS access *.mdb files to Linux oracle?

Dear all,
I got a MS Access *.mdb file which has several tables inside
it. We will like to convert this file into our new oracle
database of Linux. How should I do to accomplish the converting
task?
null

A third way to convert Access to Oracle is to setup ODBC on the
client PC which has the access databases.
Start Access and open the database to the Table view.
For each table:
Chose File -> Save As/Export... -> External File or DB -> ODBC
Enter the table name for the table in Oracle (case used to be a
problem -- you may have to try uppercase or lowercase)
Choose the Oracle ODBC driver and login to the Oracle DB.
Should show you a progress bar while the data goes in.
You can get the client side Oracle stuff by downloading a trial
NT server or some other trail software. ODBC drivers are free.
As I understand it, the Access migration assistant will bring
across more than just the tables.
You should probably bring across the data into some temporary
tables first, then create your real tables and copy across the
data. That way you can fix things that were broken in the Access
version.
Cheers,
Colin

How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?

Hi;
How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?
Developed a DBase application for a vertical market using MS Access. Worked on it for over a decade.
Have been in contact with a rather large company and we are talking about licensing my program with them.
BUT; they want it "On the Cloud"
Here is what needs to be accomplished. Ideally a user can log in from anywhere, (similar to on-line banking), enter data and print reports.
Read this a few days ago:
"If I were in your situation and felt that there's a growth market for your offerings, I would personally go with a PHP/MySQL-based model. The printing issue can be readily resolved with PDF-based output.
So the Querys, Forms and VBA Code needs to be brought in from MS Access to Dreamweaver.
Can this be done? Or is there a better way that I haven't learned yet?
Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction.
Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
Andy

>Can this be done?
No, not any way that I know of. You would need to completely rewrite this as a web application. Obviously the MS Access tables can be migrated to MySQL and the Access queries converted to views. But the forms and custom code needs to be written from scratch in html and your choice of server side programming language.

Linked Server to MS Access mdb file and exclusivity??

I've got an SQL database running on SQL Server 2008. From this server, I have a linked server to an Access database (access 2003).
In my database I have a stored procedure that I want to query the access database (linked server) and insert / update some rows in one of my SQL tables.
The linked server is setup without an ODBC DSN (though, I have tried it with one and still get the same results).
When I run the stored procedure RDP'd onto the sql server, it runs without issue. When I run the stored procedure from management studio from my machine, I get "It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its
data"
Unfortunately, this access mdb file is pulled from all over our organizatoin - a sin from a long time ago - but I do know that in both instances, the file is still in use by others.
My SQL Server and file server where the MDB file exists are both a member of the same domain. Also, the account the SQL Service runs under is a domain account as well.
Does this make any sense?
Thanks
sb

Hi kumar,
According to your description, when you create an linked server in SQL Server 64 bit to connect to the Access database 32bit , usually, the error 7399 and 7350 will occur. As other post, you need to install SQL Server 32bit. Or you can uninstall 32bit office
products and install 64bit Microsoft Access Database Engine. For creating Linked Server, if you run on a 64bit environment we need to download
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable from Microsoft and install suitable version of software on the machine.

Concurrent users unable to open a shared Microsoft Access MDB database

I have a share on a Cisco NSS2000, the NSS is in Workgroup mode (Firmware 1.13).
Every user have read/write rights on this share.
When I try to open an access MDB database from this share it happens that only a single user at time can open the database.
The second user that try to open the database get a "Cannot lock file" error message.
So, when a user has the Access DB opened, no-one other can open (or connect to) the same DB.
It's impossible to open the DB using the access IDE ("Cannot lock file" error message).
It's impossible to make multiple connection to the DB using OleDB ("Cannot lock file" error message).
I've tried give full access to the mdb file.
I've tried give full access to the mdb folder.
I've even tried to give full access to the temporary LDB file.
I always get the same error message.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Max

I've finally been able to update the firmware to the latest 1.16.
Now everything works fine, problem solved! :)
Thanks,
Max

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it. Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it." The has never happened before. The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday. Thanks.

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

Where is my problem? Please help. Thanks in advance!

That's the problem. DG4ODBC on 64bit Windows is 64bit and thus it also requires a 64bit ODBC driver.
If you don't find one - maybe you can install DG4ODBC 32bi on a 32bit platform (please do NOT install it on the 64bit Windows machine) and then use this 32biit DG4ODBC with the 32bit ODBC driver.
Another option would be to purchase a commercial ODBC driver or a bridged ODBC driver.

How to change the path of an Access .mdb file @ runtime in Visual Studio 2012

Hello,
I'm hoping my question is simple enough to merit a quick answer. I will lay out the details:
I am writing a WindowsForms App in VB 2012. I have a Crystal Report that points to an Access .mdb at design time in order to get the proper structure and layout correctly.
However, during runtime, I need to point to a completely different .mdb file with the same identical structure. How do I do this? I've tried everything I could find on the net with no success and mostly because the answers are for C programmers. I mean, I can pretty much decipher it, but have gotten zero results.
Thank you for your time.
-Mike

ok. The code needs some small modifications.
I gave it a quick try and here is the InProc RAS SDK code which works for me. Add the assembly references to the app for all those assemblies used in the 'imports' statements in the code.

        Dim table_Old As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table()
        Dim table_New As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table()
        'Open the report object to initialize the ReportClientDocument
        Dim rd As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
        rd.Load("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Report1.rpt")
        ClientDoc = rd.ReportClientDocument()
        table_old = ClientDoc.Database.Tables(0)
        'Clone the original table in the report
        table_new = table_old.Clone(True)
        ' Get the connection information from the report document for the first table in the collection.
        logonPb = table_new.ConnectionInfo.Attributes("QE_LogonProperties")
'set the path for new mdb
        logonPb.Item("Database Name") = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\New folder\efashion1.mdb"
        ' Set a new table for the report, set the old table to the new one.
        ClientDoc.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(table_old, table_new)
        'view the report

End Class
Hope this clears the doubts
