General :: Cannot Open Database
Jun 28, 2012
I've been working on a database for the past month and all of a sudden I'm getting an error "the microsoft jet database engine could not find the object 'database'" and when I click ok nothing is showing (i.e. no project window or anything). I normally do backups on something this large but for some reason I didn't on this one. The size of the file is still large but doesn't look like anything is in it.I've tried opening a new one and link and import everything but I get the same error.

I'm having problems with my database. It was on a USB memory stick and suddenly I got a message to format the entire USB memory. I managed to retrieve the files on the USB and loaded them onto anothe USB, but when I tried to open the database I got the message:
"Cannot open database ". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt."
However, when I tried it on another computer I managed to open the database but when I was closing it I got the same message again. The database is working OK, but how do I get rid of the message?

I am probably staring right at it - but where is the option to set Access 2010 so that it automatically opens a specified database on startup?

Cannot Open Database". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. I have a colleague that is using Microsoft Access to import objects from SQL server but he's getting the above error. I've checked the login my colleagues uses and it has all the right permissions ect but I cannot seem to figure out why this error is still happening. Is it something to do with the SQL server or Microsoft Access?

I am trying to get windows server 2012 task scheduler to open my access database. When the task runs all that I see happen is the locking file will appear on my desktop and I have to go to the task manager and kill it to make it stop. I tried a .bat file to open it as well and im still getting the same thing. If I just click on the database and open it manually it runs just fine.

I have a split database with the backend on our server. When I go to my server and look at all the open files on the network everyone who is in the backend shows up twice. One has zero locks and the other has multiple locks.

I have a 2003 .mdb file and the associated Workgroup Information File which normally resides on a network in a folder V:V-Base-DatabaseDATA. I have the Workgroup Information File.
The database is unsupported and we need to migrate the data to a new web based database.
When I try to open the database with the shift key down I get the following message :
You do not have the necessary permission to use the V:V-Base-DatabaseDATAV-Basebe.mdb object.
What is the best way to access the data and do I need to do this on the server instead of a local drive off site?

I work in three different databases, but for one of them (the main company db), if I right clicked the pinned Access program on the taskbar and click the pinned database, it does nothing if someone else has the file open already. If the file isn't open, it'll pop up with an "Unknown publisher" warning (new, never happened before this), but it'll open the file. If someone has the database open, it doesn't flicker or even try, it just does nothing.
I am able to open Access and click on the database in the "Recent files" and have it open that way. I don't know what to troubleshoot, its like it's not seeing the file, but I can go to the properties on the pinned db and it shows the correct file location. I'm the only one having this issue, the other users here can right click the pinned program and open the file like normal.
I've rebooted my computer; unpinned and removed from list; compacted and repaired; nothing is making a difference.

All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.
See picture.

I linked table rawdata from a database called competitor from a ODBC Database. I run a query with to make a table with a criteria where it retrieves roughly 10 columns with 719,000 rows. And it gives me this error.
(Cannot open database". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
I asked the creator of the database and they said the database grows automatically and it was created with the same Access version as i am using to run the query.
Also when I do a RUN without creating a table and just selecting and displaying the data it does not give me any issues.

I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?

I have a database that has a main form, and from that main form there are buttons that open their respected forms. I am curious as to how I control the size of all of my forms. They are all pop-ups at the moment. It all works fine on my monitor, but when opened on a smaller monitor it is too big and I can't even see the bottom of the screen. The main form is set to open automatically after the user logs into the database and it opens to fit the screen. also, all of my forms are modals.

Hi,
I've run across a couple issues with our database. The most immediate issue is that I have been unable to open the database on any networked (or non-networked) computer. Me and a assistant typically enter data into this database from two seperate computers. She works on a wireless networked computer with the file on my computers hard drive. I work directly with the file. My computer is wired to the router. (in case that information helps)
We keep getting errors about "cannot access remote computer" and such, they seem to occur when she's entering data and I have the database open, then close Access. It will often give her the error and not allow her to save the record.
But just today she entered something, I closed my database window, then reopened it and I could not get in. All network computers rebooted, and still cannot get into the file. I can enter the password and then it goes to just a blank area (like when your first open access with no database). Older backup versions of the database still work, so it doesn't seem like an Access error. I also noticed that the little "LockFile"s are not being created (I ever faked one just to try it out and it deleted it after i entered the database password)
I can't repair, or convert or anything, it just asks for the password, I give it...and then nothing.
I'm very lost. Thanks for any help.

I have problem once each day when I open Access for the first time. I get an error message "Microsoft Access has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.". It asks for a file name and insists on compacting (I think) and saving the database. I go through this several times saving it under a diferent name each time until I get the warning "Security warning Some active content has been disabled. Click for details." with a button to disable it.

Hello. I haven't seen this before with Access; I've searched the forum and haven't found anything yet...
I have an Access database that was being used by about 9 different people. Everything was going along okay, but one day it became read-only for no reason. Once everyone got out of the DB it said it needed repairing. So with only one person in I ran the repair, but the horror-inducing message "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." appears and when I click "OK" on the message nothing happens whatsoever.
Luckily backups existed, but some data was lost. Is there anyway to run a repair on the database that won't open? Or is it a lost cause?
Thank you! :D

We've got a client that runs two access 97 based databases on their network. up until recently both databases worked
fine on all workstations (all XP Pro).
About 3 weeks ago they called me to report that one of the databases would not load on 3 workstations. It opened
fine on all the others. I checked out the permissions on the database (which is stored centrally on the server) and
everyone had full control.
Within the last week they have added two new xp pro workstations to the domain - neither of which can access the
database in question. they can access the other database no problem - as can all the other workstations.
The occurs as follows:
1. Double click on the icon for the database
2. access 97 loads but does not load the database's interface - instead it opens an empty version of access (with
file menu etc at the top)
3. no specific error messages at all.
4. close access and the standard xp program crash message appears (see screenshots below)
As mentioned above, other workstations can open the database fine.
the only thing that has changed on the network is the installation of some server and workstation based production
software - we have not yet consulted with the company that installed this - we felt that if it was this software
causing the problem then all workstations would be suffering. we wil have to consult with them once we've exhausted
all the possibilities.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Hello all,
Please help with this:
On opening my database, I have a switchboard that opens up.
How do also run a report automatically just after the switchboard screen opens. To make the switchboard open when I click on my database, I went to tools..> startup. But I don't know how to run a report automatically after that.
Thanks for your help!
