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

  • User unable to open Database in RSC 3.1

    Hey Everyone
    I've got a user whose unable to open a database in RoboSource Control 3.1. She receives no error and RSC just sits there like DB connection was never opened. She can open other databases.
    I've tried different accounts on her machine and the database won't open for them either, but her account can open the database from other machines. I've repaired and uninstalled/reinstalled RSC but to no avail. I originally thought this to be a cache problem, but since it's affecting other accounts I'm no longer sure.
    Has anyone seen something like this before?
    Thanks!

    I am out of the office until 27-07-2009.
    If you require assistance please contact the helpdesk at

  • Reporting Studio - user unable to open new or existing reports

    Hi All,
    I have a user unable to access reports since migration to Production application. He had no problem in Development. Oracle support checked all our settings, installation, configuration, etc and concluded that it was simply his computer and they could do nothing to fix it? Before we rebuild his machine for no reason, has anyone else had this issue? The error reads "Failed to connect to server" with the details "Error connecting to database connection xxPRODXX: Server/Cluster is incorrectly configured. Since support validated our configuration, that message doesn't seem to be right.
    Thanks,
    Roger

    Good question Kelly and No - the support rep checked the registration, but we didn't unregister/reregister and now that you mention it, I think we had a similar issue in Development and that may have been the fix. So we'll try that now. Thanks!

  • Unable to open connection to MS Access 2013 .accdb file Under WCF Web Service Project Using Windows 8.1 64bit

    I am encountering the following error when trying to connect to an Access 2013 database:
    The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    I have Visual Studio 2013 SP3 running on Windows 8.1 64bit OS which also has Office 2013 installed (which includes MS Access 2013).  My project is a WCF web service using .NET Framework 4.5.1 using any cpu as target.  I have tried reluctantly
    to install the older drivers as described by in the below article:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1d5c04c7-157f-4955-a14b-41d912d50a64/how-to-fix-error-the-microsoftaceoledb120-provider-is-not-registered-on-the-local-machine?forum=vstsdb
     and also went through the "Add Data Source" wizard in the Project menu to have the connect string automatically built.  Even with the automatically built connect string I can not connect to the .accdb file from within my WCF web service.
    What's odd is if I use the Database Explorer in Visual Studio it has no problem connecting the my Access file.  I inspected the connect string and tried to use it as well but still get the same error. Even stranger is that I have no problem connecting
    to the Access DB in an ASP.NET project on the same PC. I am also able to connect to the Access file using a simple Windows Forms application.  So I'm wondering if it has something to do with trying to connect to the Access file from a WCF web service
    project.
    What I'd like to know is if anyone has been able to get this to work in an environment as I described above as a 64bit WCF web service project?  I tried to switch my project to 32bit but when I do I get a different error which reads:
    System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:
    Almost to the point of trying to get this web service project done with SQL Express but would like to know if it can be done with MS Access 2013.  Any information anyone can provide to help me get past this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Have you installed the 64-bit Access driver on your machine? See
    Data Source Names and 64-Bit Operating Systems for the differences in odbcad32. Call %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe to check the drivers.
    How do you host your service? Stand-alone or IIS or embedded to another application? Keep in mind that IIS7 runs it in its application pool which is defaullt 64bit. Thus the bad image exception, when compiling your service as 32bit.
    When you need the Access database for your service to store informtation, then I would switch to SQL Server (Express) or XML files depending on your actual needs.
    Also check whether your account under which your service is run has the necessary NTFS file permissions on the access file and the folder. This is getting even more complex when it's a remote folder.

  • Unable to open/edit shared calendar with Editor permissions

    I have created an account, and have shared the calendar to the entire office. Some of the individuals have either been unable to accept the invite as it says "The folder you selected is not available". Some can view the calendar, but are unable
    to create appointments. Their addresses are set as Editor, but it continues to give this error.
    Is there something I am missing?

    Hi,
    If these users are working in Outlook Cached Mode, please let them switch to Outlook Online Mode to check the result. If the function works fine in Online Mode, removing and re-adding the calendar may help since it seems to be a cache issue.
    If the issue persists, could you please detail this scenario a little bit? I've seen Office 365 users used to meet this issue and it was resolved by installing an update:
    Outlook 2013 The folder you selected is not available

  • Office 2011 on Macbook: unable to open network shared files but local copies are fine.

    All,
    We have 3 users in our environment and only one person is having this issue. Accessing files from a shared location "\\servername\macbk$ gives an error such as:
    "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
    Copying the files locally open correctly.
    We have investigated permissions, the share has the correct ACL permission (including everyone full). NTFS permissions on the folder are also set to everyone full. We've reinstalled Office 2011 and have tried Office Preview 2015. We've remapped the drive.
    Other applications including text edit, Adobe, etc. open from the share just fine. This seems to be an issue only with OSX and Office, or vice versa.
    Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Microsoft Access 2013 Database Invoice

    I am trying to use a Database Invoice template provided by Access 2013.  I am having trouble making some vital alterations, including making values non-dependent on each other.
    For example, I don't want the total price to be dependent on the hours tab.  I would actually prefer if the hours tab wasn't even there. 
    I can submit a screenshot if need be. 
    Thank you very much for your assistance.

    Hi,
    Which Database Invoice template do you use? I find Access 2013 provide 6 template which include the invoice.
    And then I download one of them (Desktop Product inventory database) to customize the invoice report.
    Right click invoice report > Choose design Mode
    If I misunderstand something, please let me know and upload some screenshots.

  • Unable to open Office files

    Hi,
    Odd situation.  I have a user unable to open the majority of their Office docs from a shared drive.  However as an administrator if I log into the server open the file and close it then the user is able to open the document with no problems.
    Is this something anyone has seen before.  Not an issue with any other users.
    Server is 2012 r2 and client is Win 7 with Off 2010.
    I do use data deduplication if that has an effect.
    Any ideas, im at a loss.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Pilgrim99,
    Have you right clicked the shared drive to make sure all permissions there where set?
    Can any other users open the document on the shared folder? Please check if you have granted that user access to the
    file.
    If there is anything I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.
    Best regards,

  • 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 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

    "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.

    Use your own mail reader. Create an e-mail. Attach the PDF. Send the e-mail to your address.
    In your inbox, the mail will arrive.
    Now select the "+view raw format+" option of your mail reader (most mail readers have this, including MS Outlook).
    Look at the contents of the mail body. This will show you how the attachment was inserted into the mail itself. Look at the Mime types. Look at the mail header. This is a working example of what your code needs to create as an e-mail body in PL/SQL (or any other language).
    This is not rocket science....
