Could Not Find Installable Isam
May 8, 2007
I have recently installed access 2007 and I get an error when trying to do an import data macro for an excel file. It says "could not find installable isam". I have googled and googled, and tried the following:
renaming the msexcl35.dll and msexcl40.dll files, reinstalling access, verifying path is correct in the registry, and manually registered the above files. I also have the most recent jet service pack installed.
Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

Okay,
I originally had a LInked tabledef to my focpro dbf file, but when i found i could statically link a query, i decided to use that method instead.
Now, I clicked on the properties, copied my connect string, and voila it worked.
THen i was trying to do a few things to split my database, since I figured certain things would be faster in a back-end external database, and I wanted to copy the linked query. The query accidentally got deleted from my database, and i went to recreate it. Now I'm getting this error:
"Cannot find installable ISAM"
So i went back to my VB programmed tabledef, and that works fine, but the query still won't. Why?

I was surprised to not find any posts on this error in here. Maybe i did not search correctly?? Anyway I am getting an ISAM 3170 error when I run the following code:

Now here's my app:
I am running an Access 2000 DB on a Windows Terminal Server (Citrix Metaframe). The Access 2000 DB has several linked tables to a SQL 2000 server. I have went to microsofts web site and verified I did not have registry entry (pointing to wrong files) issues. We have re-installed Office 2K. At this point I am not sure what is left to do?
Any thoughts ?

A couple of us were doing data entry when one of the record converted its characters to chinese one. When trying to delete this record,I got the error message that the key wasn't found in any record. And clicking the help this is what it said "The search key was not found in any record. (Error 3709)
This error occurs when an ISAM SEEK is being executed and there are no matching values in the index." I was only trying to delete.
A suggestion I found on Google was to remove the indexing of memo fields, but there aren't any.
Any suggestions?

I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
Any help much appreciated!

I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time
End Date/Time
Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee
12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith
12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe
13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith
13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe
I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?

A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.
I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.
Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.

Hey everyone,
Im creating a database for college using MS access 2003.
I have 3 table that contain data and i am building form to allow a user to search for a particular customer. The customer ID in my customer table is an auto number.
I have a button on my form and it shows the find and replace box when pressed which is what i want but i then want it so that when a user types a customer ID number in to that find and replace box and it is an exact match for the find and replace box to auto close else show an Error message and allow the user to input another customer number,
Im sure there is macro code to do this so im asking if anyone knows or has any better ideas?
Thanks for your time

Hello Expert,
I have attempted for two days to following codes. I am still unable to get the way out. Would you give me a help?
The field fund_cd is a combo box of transaction table to look up reference table called fund_type. Here is the structure of fund_type:
fund_cd text 3
fund_desc text 50
fund_currency text 5
My needs are to pull both values of fund_cd and fund_currency to transaction table, so 1 combo box cannot meet my needs. As such, I write following codes to base on selected fund_cd to find appropriate value of fund_currency in fund_type.
From the code below, I meet the run-time error ‘3001’ and I am not sure can I finally get fund_currency using method of GetString.
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strccy As String
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
rst.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rst.Open "Select * from fund_type"
strSQL = "fund_cd = " & Me.fund_cd
rst.MoveFirst
rst.Find strSQL, 0, adSearchForward
strccy = rst.GetString(adClipString)
Thanks very much!

I am trying to code a combo box control to find a record. This is incredibly simple but for some reason it won't work. Could you tell me what I am missing.
I have put the following code in the after update of the control
Dim rs as Object
Set rs= Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ContestNo]='"&Me![Combo23] & "'"
Me.Bookmark=rs.Bookmark
I don't get any errors but it won't work either...any ideas??
thanks in advance,
Brenda

Thanks in advance.

I have a find command button that appears to call the find and replace message box. It should be a search for anything in my query. The code behind the button looks like the find and replace message box in the office suite. I believe I am trying to create a message box where you add an entry and it searches then lauches a subform with my entries.
When I checked the button it had the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click
Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 10, , acMenuVer70
Exit_cmdFind_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdFind_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdFind_Click
End Sub
I read a few of the lookup queries but they only give me a drop down. Is there some way to customize the box comes up without altering all of Office or do I just sound lost.

Ok, so I made a registration website with FrontPage and published it. The registration page has several text boxes and a submit button. I was testing it out and entered a few dummy names. The conformation page popped up and said everything was ok. So I'm assuming the data successfully uploaded into the Access DB that I linked it to while in development.
My problem is when I go to the folder where the DB resides there so no data in the tables. I'm thinking that maybe when the website gets published a copy of the DB is moved somewhere and I'm looking in the wrong place? This is the first time I have made a webpage or used FrontPage so please excuse my ignorance, hehe.

Hi,
I have a database created in Access 2000. It works OK on computer number one. When I copy the data base to another computer and open it, the table can not be found. The error message is "D:DocsdgrDocent Library Nov 2005 is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which it resides" The path mentioned is the original path on computer number one. The DB opens but it will not find the table or the queries etc. I thought that moving the DB had something to do with it but when I copied the DB to an external HD and then opened it, it works fine. But when I connect the external HD to the other computer it doesn't find the table.
Both computers have Access 2000.
Number one is XP and number two is W2000.

I have created a DB with many tables and I want to find a way where I can retrieve all the emails from every table (each one has a column with emails). Does anyone know what to do? If a record doesn't have an email address do I have to type N/A or just leave it blank?
