I am sorry to bother you with this question. I have spent hours
learning and setting up a database and the associated forms using
Base. It was working fine, but then today it would not open. I
continue to get an error that says "the connection to the datasource
<name> could not be established. the connection to the external data
source could not be established. An unknown error occurred. the
driver is probably defective". This had never happened before, and
does not happen with any of the other databases I have created in the
same manner (indeed, most of the other databases I have created are
the earlier versions of the one I am having trouble with). It is not
a remote database; it is here on my computer. Honestly, I do not even
care if I can retrieve the functions and forms I made. I would be
happy just being able to take the data and start over. But, I cannot
even find where get that. I have attached the file, in hopes that
this might be helpful. I do not think it is an actual driver problem,
because like I said, all the others are working properly, as do new
ones I create. Thank you for any help you can offer, and please let
me know if there is more information I can send.
Sincerely
Michael Caja
I downloaded this to my Linux computer. I attempted to unzip the file,
and it will not unzip. I believe that you have a corrupted file.
Typically, I can take an odb file and unzip it. For example, if I have a
file named Something.odb, I rename the file to x.zip, and then I can
unzip the file. I could NOT do this with the file that you sent. I
assume, therefore, that the file is damaged. No comment on how or why. I
hope that you have a backup :-(
