Microsoft Access Cannot Open This File
Feb 14, 2007We have a database on our network server which I cannot open. I get the following error everytime I try to access it.
This file is located outside your or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location.
I think it has to do with a Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 security update. However, I cannot find the update to uninstall. Others can access the database located on the network, but some get a pop-up that allows them to say "no" and access the file. The pop-up has the following message:
Security Warning: Unsafe expressions are not blocked. Do you want to block unsafe expressions?
Can anyone help with this?

Microsoft Access Has Detected Corruption In This File.
Nov 22, 2004This error message appears when trying to open an Access XP database:
"Microsoft Access has detected corruption in this file. To try to repair the
corruption first make a backup copy of the file. Then, on the Tools menu, point
to Database Utilities and click Compact and Repair Database..."
But when you try to do what it suggests, it does not work. Even if you hold down the shift key when opening it, the message appears. Anybody have any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAdding FTP Upload File Capability To Sweep Function In Microsoft Access
Oct 31, 2007Hi Folks,
I have created a file sweeping program in Microsoft Access via VBA in a few modules. The program simply reads certain files in certain directories, and determines if, when, and where to copy those files based on certain user inputs.
One of the features I would like to add would be to upload the files that meet that criteria to a conventional FTP server requiring a username and password. However, the last few days of research all tells me that it is not possible to perform FTP functions in Microsoft Access or in VBA.
I am just wondering if that statement is really true? I figure the worse case is that windows has its own version of FTP.exe that you can execute in a DOS window ... would one be able to perhaps create a command line execution via VBA? Any simple ideas or is it not worth the trouble trying to FTP upload some files via Microsoft Access with VBA?
Thank you very much,
Joe
General :: Microsoft Access Database Engine Cannot Open Or Write To The File
Jul 2, 2013I 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?

HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL Statement Expect
Mar 27, 2007My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:
We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.
I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.
When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:

Opening Other File Types From Within Access
Nov 16, 2004I have a database application that I have to get to display some external PDF files.
I thought that I would create a command buttone and use that to open the files, but that doesn't want to work. Can anyone provide some thoughts on how to open a Word document or PDF file from within an access form? I only need to display it and then close the file so it doesn't have to be anything fancy.

Got Warning Everytime Opening An Access File
Dec 3, 2006Hi,
I wonder if anyone here might be able to help me out here. I've been pondering this issue for so long and i was almost giving up.
I've been getting this warning everytime i open up an Access file (.MDB) especially, when trying to open up a file that's sitting on another computers. i have a few computers and they are set up in a peer to peer environment.
I took a printscreen of the warning message and attached it to this post. Please take a look at it. It's called "access.jpg"
Is there any way of turning it off? is it to do with the peer to peer networking?
Thank you in advance
Opening An Mde File In A Newer Version Of Access
Apr 22, 2007I have an mde database originally created in Access 2003. Will I be able to open it in Access 2007?
(I ask because this mde file was originally created in Access 2002, and wouldn't open in A03. We had to track down the creator and get her to resend a new mde file that was 03 compatible. Are we going to run into the same problem after the next upgrade?)

General :: Opening Access Database From Batch File Or VBS
Dec 20, 2012Is there a way to open an Access Database from a batch file or VBS file wait for 20 seconds and then close the Access file. Preferably I would like the Access file to run in either invisible or minimized mode. I would like the Access Database to close again after the 20 seconds has elapsed.
(The reason for this is so that the Database can refresh itself from Sharepoint on another users machine so that the excel reports on his machine are up to date).
Converting From Microsoft Access 2.0 To Microsoft Access 2003
Jul 10, 2006Hello everyone,
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

Opening A Password Protected Excel File From A Command Button In Access
Dec 22, 2006Hi All,
I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and
ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the
same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the
files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable
automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be
done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below
that I found but now I'm getting an error.
This is the code:
Dim BookNames As Variant
Dim B As Long
BookNames = Array("O:ExcelFilesActualHires.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualPromotions.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualSeparations.xls")
For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames)
WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _
UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******"
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next B
But when I click the button, I get this error:
Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.
and this line is highlighted:
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Modules & VBA :: Determine File Format Without Opening Database (Using Access 2007)
Jul 15, 2014Using Access 2007, can I return a value for CurrentProject.FileFormat WITHOUT opening the database?
I'm looking for a way to determine the file version of a given Access database without actually "opening" the database in Access (I don't want it to ever be visible at all or in any way).
So to open a database in Access 2007 "without opening it," I'm using:
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:Path-ToFile.accdb")
From here, there are at least two different "version" indicators that can be used, as in this example:
Code:
Debug.Print db.Properties("Version").Value
Debug.Print db.Properties("AccessVersion").Value
Now, if you run this code on an Access 2002/2003 .MDB file, you will get:
Code:
4.0
09.50
If you run this code on an Access 2007 .ACCDB file, you get:
Code:
12.0
09.50
Note two important factors:The db.Properties("Version") seems to be returning the JET version from what I can see in research. This is NOT what I'm after.
The db.Properties("AccessVersion") returns THE SAME VALUE for an '07 ACCDB as it does for an '02-'03 MDB, since Microsoft never updated it, apparently.
Now.... the one way that I have found that ACCURATELY describes the version of a given access database file is to use:
Code:
Debug.Print CurrentProject.FileFormat
...as this will always return, for example, 2.0 for an Access 2.0 .MDB file; 10 for an Access 2002/03 .MDB file; and 12 for and Access 2007 .ACCDB file (and there are others; these are AcFileFormat bitmask constants as described in Access support).
BUT, this CurrentProject object doesn't seem to be available (so far as I can see) when using the "open without opening" method described above.
SO, is there any way to return the FileFormat value without opening the database visibly? (Merely basing it in the extension isn't right either.... that would be easy but not accurate as several formats use MDB.
Modules & VBA :: Determine Excel File Type Without Opening The File?
Aug 14, 2015Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.
Forms :: Storing File Location And Opening File From A Form

i made the mistake of not copying the files for safe keeping when i got a permanent position..i am now back self employed, i need to recreate the database.
