Re: Cannot open database
Owen, You most likely won't be able to put an eyeball on the corrupt data. Usually non-visible characters are the culprit. How many tables do you have in your Access database? I believe that you said you're running Access 97. If that's so, Access 97 was not real well suited for the web. It could be you've reached some limitations with the engine. Do you have Access 2000 where you could do a conversion? Access 2000 is many times more robust for web apps. It handles simultaneous connections much better, can handle larger tables and more rows - it's just stouter. Try a conversion if you can. That might fix it. Can you talk your mgt. to going to SQL Server? This might be a good time for you to plead your case . . . .

There's a lot of tables in the main database, so it would be a lot of stuff to sift through. Also: Why would several different database files be inaccessible? It's highly unlikely that they were all accessed around the same time. -- Owen __ Why Share?

Re: Cannot open database
Owen, I've had that problem before where a corrupt record in the database caused the problem. Chances are (not positive, but highly probable) that the newest entry in the database is the culprit. Try, in access to delete or edit that entry. Should fix things for you.

RE: Cannot open database
My suggestion is to remove the db, remove the datasource, replace the db file with a recently "repaired and Compacted' version and recreate the datasource. This has worked for us before.

It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. I'm still waiting for word from our sysadmin, but as far I know nothing has changed on the server (regarding the location or permissions of the database). I've downloaded the database files and used Access to 'repair' them, re- uploaded them, and the problem remains. I can even query the databases from CF Studio, but not through ColdFusion pages. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Yes I know--ditch Access. Anything besides that?)
