Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM. (Error 3617)

Hi:

I am working with an XLS file, andhave Access 2000.

When I try and clear the xlf file (so that xls can use it for additional data), I get an
error message:
"Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM. (Error 3617)"

What do I need to do to avoid this?

Thanks

You can't do that.....

You will have to work out a different method: Perhaps delete
the file and create a new empty file, or perhaps use Excel
Automation to clear or delete the data, or perhaps just
update all of the data to zero/blank.

When I attempt to run an action query against the linked table I get this error: Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM. From what I understand, indexed sequential access method (ISAM) drivers are used to update "non-Microsoft" file formats. So why doesn't Access

I have a SQL database which contains a table (TblA) with a field (Fld1) defined as "bigint".

I need to join TblA to TblB using Fld1 and Fld2 as the join. This of course does not work. There is a data type mismatch error generated. I do not have the...

Hi folks, Here's a weird one. We have a fair number of Access applications where the front end sits on a user's desk somewhere, but the data sits on a SQL server. We're in the process of retiring a SQL Server box that contains some of those databases and I've got the responsibility for the Access end of the changes. In most of the cases so far, it's been a matter of trotting over to the remote location and modifying the DSN (Control Panel >...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
