Good Evening all SWAT Users,

introduce me Razi from Indonesia, sorry for my bad english.

im doing the final task for the requirment to become a bachelor of water resource engineering in Brawijaya University, Malang. East Java, Indonesia.
I do an analysis of the erosion and sedimentation that occurs in a wathershed. some of my qustions are :

 i've tried to do running with my own data, started from wathershed delination, HRU Analysis, wheather input files with ms.acces database, and i tried to running ArcSWAT. so far no problem until database update at write input tables, run arcswat at SWAT Simulation and "Import Files to Database". all completed. suddenly when i tried to Open SWATOuput.mdb a warning appears ("The System cannot find the file specified: unable to open access database from ArcSWAT") which is i need to generate link to my Ms. Acces, and i enter the Ms.Acces link. MSACCESS.exe
after that appears warning like this ("The command line you used to sstart Microsoft Access contains an option that Microsoft Access doesn't recognize"). after click ok still fail like this ("Microsoft Access can't find the database file '..................'") i've no idea how to fix it.

please help me if you ever experienced and how to fix it, so i can Open my SWAToutput.mdb. thankyou so much for your attention, once again i apologize if there is any mistake from my article such as my bad english.

Regards, 
Razi - Indonesia.

Hi friend,

If you just want to open SWATOutput.mdb, just go to your project folder and find that file. It will be in the tablesout folder.

I am also having a similar issue, when trying to write my output files to the database.

"string reference not set to an instance of a string. Parameter name :S." I am able to open the output database but all it contains is a list of the variables and what they mean.

Perhaps anyone has an idea on this?

Hi Kerry, I'm assuming you want to see outputs by importing the file to database. There are other ways you could choose to do that. Just forget that errors.

And what would my other options be to see these outputs? Thank you sir.

Hi Kerry, not sure if you got my message. After the simulation run, all the results are saved in output files. You could get data from those files. The import to database function just convert the files to a database. You could also try my tool SWAT Output Viewer at www.swatviewer.com

Hello Mr. Hawk...
I'm facing a similar problem.
I can't import the output files to databate beacause appears a message: "Import Files to Database", like the imagem attached"
And right now I need the "Flow_out" data.
How is the order way I can get this data?
Thank you in advance.
