"Invalid argument" error when attempting to use Linked Table Manager

I am trying to import a text file into a linked table in Access (the linked table resides in SQL Server). I run through the import wizard which always ends with an 'Invalid Argument' error and claims the import was unsuccessful but when I query the table
all the data has been imported. How do I get this error to stop?
Any suggestion will be appreciated

Sounds like something is not hooked up right, or setup right.  Can you do a Compact and Repair and try again?

C & R is really done to defragment a DB, but it can 'fix' other things as well.
Also, see this.

    Hello,
    I too am an Ashford University student, and I have received the same error. However, I have found a couple workarounds that allow me to do pretty much everything except view my degree progress (for that I use Chrome on my iMac).
    ****CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF DATA****
    First, back up your iPad in iTunes (if you do not know how to do this, then do not proceed until you do). Second, quit Safari (double-tap the home button so that the multi-task bar appears at the bottom of the screen, then swipe until you see Safari, then press and hold the Safari icon until the 'X' appears, finally press the 'X' to quit the App) Third, make sure Safari is configured as follows:
    Settings > Safari >
    Java Script "ENABLED"
    Block Popups "OFF"
    Accept Cookies "ALWAYS"
    Reset Safari:
    Settings > Safari >
    Clear History
    Clear Cookies
    Clear Cache
    Restart your iPad by holding the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears (immediately let go of both buttons or else you will put your iPad into recovery mode). Accessing the Ashford Student portal should now work.

    Hi Experts,
    I have a sales order which cannot be despatched or invoiced because whenever I try to convert the order into a delivery note or AR Invoice I get error message:
    Invalid Currency [Message 131-74]
    I have also tried adding a delivery note and the Copy From function with no success.
    The BP is set up to use All Currencies and the order is only in GBP.
    Thanks
    Jon

    What version of SAP Business One are you using?
    Have you had a look at SAP Note  # 1252328 ?
    Invalid currency error when copying a Sales Order
    Symptom
    You are managing an item with the FIFO valuation method. You have some open layers with zero cost. You create a Sales Order for this item and want to copy it to the next marketing document: a Delivery or an A/R Invoice. You receive the following error: Invalid currency [Message 131-74]
    Other terms
    OINM,FIFO, zero cost, sales order ,delivery ,invoice
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Application error
    example:
    1.Create item managed by FIFO.
    2.Goods Receipt for item ,quantity10, no price.
    3.Goods Receipt PO for item, quantity 10.price 5
    4.Sales Order for item ,quantity 11,
    5.e.g.copy it to Delivery or AR Invoice
    You will receive the error:Invalid Currency[Message 131-74]
    the same error message when you use the copy from function
    Solution
    SAP plans to fix this issue in a future patch. See the info.txt file on SAP Service Marketplace to verify when the fix was included.
    Apparently its affecting SAP Business One 2007 B Patch 13 and SAP Business One 2007 A Patch 47

  • Error when attempting to merge into table with RLS - ORA - 28132

    hey,
    i've encountered an "ORA-28132 - Merge into syntax does not support security policies" when attempting to merge into a table with RLS defined on it.
    i looked around and found this [discussion |http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:259415261270] on ask tom.
    according to the thread - this was a bug in 9i. in 10g merge is possible only if the policy returns "null" and in 11g it was finally fixed.
    *i have been able to merge into tables with rls in 10gR2 in some cases.*
    i would like to know if anyone has some more information about this error. when can i merge into tables with RLS ?
    thanks, Haki.

    Never.
    The bug was that it did work sometimes in 10g i.e. it should always raise an error.
    It's something that I've always found a bit odd and frustrating - that MERGE and RLS policy should not be compatible.
    But bottom line is that you shouldn't be using MERGE on table with RLS policy.

  • Run Time Error when attempting to use pse 10 editor

    While using the editor in PSE 10, it suddenly stopped working, giving me a "run time error" message. I have created a new user account, created restore points on my PC, attempted to change the preference files, all to no avail. The software came installed on my PC, so I'm unable to do an uninstall and reinstall as I don't have the installation CD. The PC manufacturer and Adobe support have been unable to help (neither providing me with a product key). Can someone help me fix the "run time error"?  Until it's fixed, the product is unusable.

    Can you share the exact error message or probably a screenshot which might help us reviewing it and suggest you any solution.

    Me: title of error is    Unable to Download
    Me: i dont see how that would be an adobe problem?
    Charles P.: I understand, but it appears that the reason for the download issue is because of the license error the license is related to the Adobe Digital editions software. I understand how this could be confusing but it's due to the authorization of the ADE software. Adobe would need to correct your account issue with the license
    Me: ok but i thought this was a free license from adobe??!!  this is just a digital editions reader, right??
    Charles P.: That is correct it is a free license but your account has to be associated with one license and yes the Digital edition is a ebook reader that our ebooks use for you to view

    Well, just for the halibut I tried opening the book again today and , GLORY BE!,  it worked.
    Guess it may have taken overnight for Adobe to OK my license to their free ADE software. Also works now using Bluefire app as the reader on my android phone, although it was a pain
    to get the book file in the right file folder for bluefire to see it.

  • Airport extreme: Invalid Argument errors over satellite connection

    Question 1: Have you observed problems with Apple equipment getting high error rates over high latency connections such as satellite connections?
    Question 2: Do you know of any reason why Apple equipment is more likely to exhibit this behaviour?
    We have a shack in the country that has a 10Mb/sec satellite internet service.  The satellite in question is the Australian NBN service which I believe uses an Optus satellite.
    We get frustratingly large numbers of errors from Safari: "Safari can't open the page <insert random url here> The operation could not be completed. Invalid argument."
    The message in the browser is always the same.  It can take half-a-dozen retries to get a page to display.  On average, aroiund 30% of connection attempts yield this error.  It seems to be load dependent, and at the moment it is happening less often - maybe one in 10 requests are failing.  It is currently 2 Jan, around midday and most Australians near the coast will be at the beach, and those inland have 50 degree temperatures predicted so they will be wallowing in the mud-hole that was once the dam, so I expect the satellite load is rather low.
    My ISP says they have around a dozen customers reporting this problem and they all use Apple gear.
    Observations:
    I was able to open a VPN connection to one of my customers (after several attempts) and the VPN connection worked flawlessly for the duration of hte session which was several hours.  Meanwhile, the mrs was cussin' away about invalid argument errors.
    Once a page starts loading, it generally finishes.  This seems to be independent of the level of complexity.  So once a page gets going, it keeps going.  Selecting a link from it, however, will likely result in another error.
    Pings are returning in around 1 second.
    Transfer rate is good - close to the promised 10Mbit/sec.  Response time, of course, is aweful compared to a wired or 3G connection.  However it is acceptable provided a response is actually received.
    Gear is: A couple of netgear routers in point to point mode bridging to the Airport Extreme in the house which is the main router.  There are a couple of Airport expresses about the place doing other stuff.  Terminal equipment includes iPads x 2, macBooks x 2, iPhones x 2.  Everything gets a master reset periodically when the power goes off,  and the problem persists.  All devices experience the problem.
    Thank you for your help

I even reset my airport extreme and created a new network. Nothing is working please help!
    Does your cable modem have any sort of battery backup that would prevent it from resetting fully during a power cycle?

  • Invalid Argument Error

    I am getting above error on load of the JNLP file. When I access the URL for the JNLP, the JNLP file downloads (I can see the content using Ethereal) and WebStart does launch. So, I assume MIME type is OK and the download servlet is working, at least enough to serve up the JNLP.
    What makes this more curious is that it is a working configuration in Jetty. I can take the exact same application - drop it in Jetty, it works; drop the SAME file in Tomcat 4.1.27, it doesn't work.
    Anyone seen this?

    I just found out by searching tomcat list that in your
    dynamic jnlp file you can set the cache-control to
    public using
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "public")
    This will allow Internet Explorer to cache the jnlp
    file and you won't get the exception.
    This way you can keep your jnlp file under a security
    constraint.I wasn't sure what was meant by "dynamic JNLP" or how to follow the above procedure, so I created a servlet (a JSP, actually) to implement the above workaround. It will serve JNLP files from a password-protected directory in a way that works for the Tomcat-to-Internet Explorer combination. It's posted below in case it can help anyone else.
    There are still a few things to watch out for: (1) the protection (the <auth-method> tag in your web.xml file) for the JNLP file must be BASIC--FORM will not work. (2) you will have to enter the password twice--once for the browse and again for Web Start.
    The servlet itself is enclosed below. If you have questions about it, please post them to this forum.

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!
