Cannot Query MDB!
According to this thread
http://www.google.com/groups?threadm...ing.google.com you can't have spaces in the path to your MDB. -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "simsjr" wrote in message ... So I'm trying to "Get External Data" from within Excel 97. We have a password protected Access MDB on a company shared drive that we need to access. Now, I can open the MDB directly from my workstation and I can run queries stored within the database, but I get an error message when I try to access it through Excel 97 via the Create New Query option. I have tried accessing the database both through ODBC or directly (with a reference to the MDB location on the network). I specify a password during both occasions, and here's the error message I get with each method: "String data, right truncated on column number 1 (TABLE_CAT)" What's up with this??? |

Cannot Query MDB!
Thanks for the response - and good to know. However, I just checked and there
are no spaces in the path to the MDB file. Any other suggestions? :) "Dick Kusleika" wrote: According to this thread http://www.google.com/groups?threadm...ing.google.com you can't have spaces in the path to your MDB. -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "simsjr" wrote in message ...

You can read the posts here http://www.google.com/groups?as_q=St...=lang_en&hl=en I've read through them in the past, but there didn't seem to be one simple answer. Maybe you will find a post that fits your situation, though. -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com |
