Erratic access of MDB over network

Hi there,

I get the following error using Access ODBC drivers:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid
path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you
are connected to the server on which the file resides.

My setup
-------------
- 3 PCs connected as peers in a network (just a workgroup)
- 1 NAS (Network storage is ReadyNAS) on the same network
- All 3 PCs can "see the" NAS. So, I just type the IP of the NAS in
explorer and the contents of the NAS pop up.
- Each PC has some code that tries to "read" from the MDB on the NAS.
Sometimes, the code can connect and read from the database. Sometimes
it can't. The problem is erratic, which makes debugging it very hard.
My investigation so far:
----------------------------------
- I'm biased towards thinking that it has something to do with
threading. i.e.
Is it possible that 3 computers cant do a "read" on the mdb at the
same time?
- I dont think it is a "security" problem because IIS is not in the
equation and all the PCs can see each other and the NAS as well...

Please advise!

Thanks!

Ran into a strange problem today: 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3 Database and applications had been working fine for two years and all of a sudden a couple of regularly-run queries are now no longer coming out in correct sort order specified in the ORDER clauses of the select statements. Behavior is erratic, about half the time the sort order is correct, and the other half is not. All expected rows are being returned (no data is missing) and the...

I have a typical two frame frameset. Menu frame on the left, load content on the right frame. Lately I have been having problems in that sometimes menu links will open a new window instead of loading on adjacent frame. When I reload the frameset then pages load as they should. What could cause this erratic behavior?

Is there any other solution for an ASPNET application to access network resources other than running as SYSTEM, using delegation (a nightmare to get to work) or the COM+ solution?

I check my identity has changed but can only still do local commands. I would consider...

Scenario: This is about debugging server side scripts that make calls to middle-tier business DLLs. The server side scripts are legacy ASP 3.0 pages, and the DLLs are managed DLLs converted/developed with VB.NET. What I want from debugging is to be able to step into the methods in the DLLs called from ASP scripts using Visual Studio .NET. Background: For typical script debugging issues, you can read and follow the two documents on...

I thought some might be interested in an erratic error that I finally found in my program: I had a class that opened a filestream for a file which I inadvertently forgot to close after it was finished.

Sometimes when opening the...

Hello, I have Visual Studio 2003, working on a VB.net project. When I try to step through the code, the behavior is erratic, stepping in places where no code exists, jumping over code sections without any goto lines or anything, and also, when I try to use WriteLine, Console.Writeline or Debug.Writeline nothing happens, nothing comes out in the command window. It's driving me nutz! Here is a snippet of code that was left with all my...

My client wants to make their Access 2007 database available to offices around the country with multi-user permissions set to control access to the tables and forms, etc. The easiest thing would be a client/server app, but they are concerned that accessing the backend on their VPN would be too slow. We've discussed the possibility of publishing the forms to the intranet with ASP, but I'm concerned that web development with Access is a...

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

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
