MS Access files not opening with WIN XP sp2


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am using a software which uses MS access 97 format files. My system has win

XP and MS office XP (2002). The software was working fine with this

combination. I updated the system with win XP sp2 and now while opening the

MS access files with the software an error message "Perhaps it is not an

access database, or it is already in use?" is displayed. All these access

database files work fine in MS access. I tried installing the software on

different computers and if the computer has win XP sp2 then the error is

displayed while opening the files with software. The software works without

any error with WIN XP sp1 even with systems having MS office 2003.

One more thing...when I try creating new database files with this software it

now gives a message "Error creating new database: out of memory."
