Question

(0x80040E14) Syntax error in INSERT ; (0x80004005) file already in use

Asked by: hbishr

1.
I have simple ASP program done using  D.Weaver MX2004, to do simple insert,
but i keep getting this error:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

this is using  XP,
i have very similar prog at work using win2000, working ok!

2.
when i try to run aprogram like the above from D.Weaver, Review in Browser, after doing some editing with recordset, for example.
i will get this error:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not use '(unknown)'; file already in use.
it is true because when i go to where my DBase is , i will see *.LDB as well as the *.MDB.
my question is:
why don't i get the same problem, error msg, when using the same at work under win2000.
is there any way around this?
is it cause of the XP?

thanks

Check the references on the "XP machine".

Open some VBA code (e.g. by pressing [CTRL+G]) and select Tools/References.
Each libraryname starting with "MISSING" must be unchecked and (e.g. microsoft DAO version x.xx) replaced when necessary.

As access doesn't cleanup added libraries, often unnecessary refenreces are present.
Just delete as many as possible without getting an error executing "Debug/compile all modules"

thanks

VBA isn't necessary to ger references, when you did experiment e.g. with a form and an ActiveX control Access will add a reference for you, even after deleting the form entirely.
Thus I would start with removing any references (when present) till the last two that are mandatory.

Normally a database working on one PC and failing on another has to do with these references so that's why I posted this to start with.

Nic,
thanks but,

by: nico5038Posted on 2005-02-21 at 11:13:47ID: 13365593

No, you'll need to open the database with MSAccess.

by the way,
i tried this at work pc,
did not find any libraryname starting with "MISSING">

 

by: nico5038Posted on 2005-02-22 at 00:13:50ID: 13369613

Would have to look at the SQL, but when it's working on one PC, then the SQL should be OK.
So then I start thinking in environmental differences. The Libraries references are the most common cause of trouble.

Now we need to check the other things, like the autorizations. You need to have read/write access to the folder where the database is located, is that the case ?

Nic;o)

 

by: hbishrPosted on 2005-02-22 at 02:32:23ID: 13370195

Nic,

i have set the authorization for that DBase as allow all.
but, i do not think i did it for the folder containing it!
i will have to check.
pls note that it is two diff environment, window 2000 at work,  
 XP with SP2 at homw where I'm having the problem.
also, record set connection is being updated to suit the XP/home pc env.


thanks

but i did set the authorization the  folder containing the DBASE!
though i have the *.LDB, when opening the asp file in D.Weaver MX 2004, but does not seem to complain
about the DB being open,...

still getting this error.
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
Entry.asp, line 78

when trying to insert RS.

some of the code:

    var MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject('ADODB.Command');
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_editConnection;
    MM_editCmd.CommandText = MM_editQuery;
this is line 78:    MM_editCmd.Execute();
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close();

    if (MM_editRedirectUrl) {
      Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl);



thanks
