Hi,

I've updated my Office2000 to Office2003.

When I attempt to create an ade-Datebase from an Access 2002-2003 format
database
I get this error:

Microsoft Office Access was unable to create a ADE-Database

Compress/Repair doesnot help

With Access2000 I was able to create an ade-Database from the same
adp-Database.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Thanks
Bodo
 
The most common problem is having some code that won't compile or a missing reference.

Take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;283788.

A less common problem is described in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;202304.

Although these articles were written for Access 2000, the information will apply to Access 2003.

Please let us know if this helps.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.

I found that the reference "Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.1 Library"
seems to prevent Access from creating an ADE Database.
When I uncheck the reference above and check "Microsoft ActiveX Data Object
2.7 Library" instead
Access will create an ADE Database without any errors.

Thanks

Sure. Makes as much sense as some of the other things that happen.

Glad you got it working.

And thanks for posting back so we know what happened.
