how do I fix err: database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin

[sharonc]

Hi,
I have an MS Access 2010 database with a module called bas This module reads the fields on a Microsoft Word document and then the data is loaded to a linked SQL Server 2008 R2 table. I am currently desigining this module so I am the only user using this database. I open the MS Access database, open the code for the module and click on Debug>Run. I get the following error:
-2147467259: The Database has been placed in a state by user ‘Admin’ on machine ‘JITC-PC’ that prevents it from being opened or locked.
How do I get rid of this error? Does any one have a solution? I have searched the Internet all week but haven't found a solution that works.

Here is my code:

Sub GetWordData()
    Dim appWord As Word.Application
    Dim doc As Word.Document
    Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim cnn2 As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim rst2 As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim strDocName As String
    Dim blnQuitWord As Boolean
 
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandling
 
    strDocName = "\\JITC-PC\Users\Sharon\My Documents\GEOINT Repository\Requests\GEOINT_rep_req_form20111109 class.doc"
    Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    Set doc = appWord.Documents.Open(strDocName)
 
    cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
        "Data Source=\\JITC-PC\Users\Sharon\Desktop\DEVELOPMENT.mdb"
 
 
    ' Open Requester table to load
    rst.Open "dbo_Requester", cnn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
 
    With rst
        .AddNew
        !Requester_Organization = doc.FormFields("Req_Org").result
        .Update
        .Close
    End With 
 
     doc.Close
 
    If blnQuitWord Then appWord.Quit
        cnn.Close
        MsgBox "Requestor Data Imported!"
 
Cleanup:
    Set rst = Nothing
    Set cnn = Nothing
    Set doc = Nothing
    Set appWord = Nothing
 
    Exit Sub
 
ErrorHandling:
  Select Case Err
  Case -2147022986, 429
        Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        blnQuitWord = True
        Resume Next
  Case 5121, 5174
        MsgBox "You must select a valid Word document. " _
                & "No Data Imported.", vbOKOnly, _
                "Word Document Not Found"
  Case 5941
        MsgBox "This Field is not found in the Word Document." _
                & "No Data Imported.", vbOKOnly, _
                "Fields not found in the Word Document"
  Case Else
        MsgBox Err & ": " & Err.Description
  End Select
  GoTo Cleanup
 
End Sub

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Can you open DEVELOPMENT.mdb directly?
IF so then make a backup of the file.

Try a compact and repair...

Which line is the error occuring?

That error message means that the database is already open, and that whoever has it open is making design changes.

Almost everyone is user 'Admin' as far as Access is concerned.

In most cases, in the situation as you describe it, the other user is actually you. Either on the same PC or another one.

As NeoPa said, the other user is usually you. That is the case here. When you open the db Access creates a lock file and that lock file is preventing you from doing what you are trying to do.

The main problem is that you are trying to create a connection object to the db that you working in. You are already in the db, so why would you need to connect to it? Basically, you just need to open the recordset via a database object and use the .OpenRecordset method of that database object.

Sorry, We've been on vacation, and still am :), and haven't had any real access ( access... funny... I do have a dry sense of humor... :) )) outside of dialup for the past week...

SharonC:
Working with NeoPa and Dsatino's posts and the fact that you mention an SQL server in your orginal post I now am not too sure as to what you have going here...

From what I'm getting... it sounds like you have a front-end Access DB that is connecting to a back-end Access DB that is somehow linked to the SQL-Server mentioned in OP... is this correct? (and if so... like wow)

Second, you have failed to mention at what point your code is generating the error. Without that information it is impossible to help you troubleshoot your code! NeoPa was good enough to wrap your code in the OP so you can refer to the point by line... I'm suspecting that this is happening at line 17???

You may want to take a look at the following http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms807027.aspx and the related links therein... I have not worked enough with the ADO datatypes; however, working with the information in the links in my original replies and from Neo and Ds - I suspect that you're error may have to deal with connection.

Best of luck and I hope to get back to regularly posting in the next week or so :-)
