Access 2003 - Could Not read Definitions ; No Read Definitions

36 New Member
So I've come across a complicated Paradox.
I am the owner and admin of Database A.
However, When I try to open this one certain table in Database A - I get the following :

Could Not Read Definitions; No read permissions for table....

So I checked the Tools - Security and that is the only Table where all Permissions were unchecked.

How could that happen?

The problem is , Now I can't get delete it or recreate it... or even Export it.. Since there are no permissions defined, Eventhough I AM the admin.
The Admin needs Admin permissions that he can't give himself.

Any Suggestions?

This is a shot in the dark, but have you tried opening the database while holding down the Shift key (keep it held down until the database is completely loaded). I do this a lot with databases that have already been converted to .accde format for instance; it might have an impact on what you can do with the permissions.

Just a thought...

I tried that as well.

In the end, I had to re-name the Table.

I still can't find the root cause for it's occurrence.

I have a VB6 program that uses standard ADO 2.5 connection to read and write to an Access 97 database on a Windows 98 machine. The same program is run by a number of other people who use Windows 98 or 2000 machines. They all connect to a their local copy of the DB with no problems. Occasionally, this database is opened in Access 97 (we all currently use 97) in order to make some manual tweaks here and there. But ,I am about to get a new...

I have just had to upgrade to Access 2003 as Access 97 EMail (SendObject) doesn't work when loaded on Windows XP. I'm finding my way around Access 2003 but my biggest problem is getting information. When I bought Access 1.0 many years ago, I got a paper manual and an excellent help file with all you needed to know. With Access 97 the manual came as a 'Building Applications' document on the CD and I still had the excellent help. With Access...

When I ordered my new laptop, Sony didn't offer Access 2003 in its bundles. Recently, I have begun to design Access databases using an copy of Access 2002 from my previous laptop. It works fine, but I would like to have all the office apps on the same version. So I have a few questions: 1) Is the file format the same as 2002? Can 2002 users read 2003 files? 2) What are the major reasons for upgrading to 2002 ?

I have upgraded my computer to Access 2003, but I have not converted my databases since all of my clients still use Access 2000. I need to create a new MDB, but Access is telling me that I will have to convert the database to 2003 before it will make an MDB. What are my options? If I convert the database, I assume that Access 2000 and A2k runtime will no longer be able to read the MDE. Can I re-install A2k on my machine? Is there...

I do programming in Access 2000 and 2003. I don't have a copy of 2003 myself, though. I have read about the adp software that comes with Access 2003, that converts an application to an access front end with a SQL server backend. It sounds like a good way for me to begin to learn about SQL server. I have thought about just shelling out the bucks for a copy of Access 2003, but the adp software is really the only reason.

When I create a new db from the main Access window or thru Vb (set newdb = ...) I always end up with Access 2000 file format. I would like to get 2002 - 2003 file format. The reason is that when I try to link from a 2002 - 2003 db to a 2000 db, the Jet engine complains that it can't find the table in the target (2000) database. And no, I can't convert on the fly. Any suggestoins would be appreciated. ....Banba

I'm in the progress of upgrading from Access 97 to Access 2003. I've read about some of the bugs introduced by Office Service Pack 3: http://allenbrowne.com/bug-Access2003SP3.html I've also seen the KB945674 hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674 Does SP3 cause more problems than it solves? Would I be better off installing SP2 (and not SP3) or installing SP3 along with the hotfix?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

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.
