Dynamic Input (12) Error opening table: Microsoft Access Database Engine: The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.

What version of Alteryx Designer are you running currently (Help -> About)? Are you unable to open any Access databases (using a standard Input Tool), or is it just one or two in particular? We do have a .mdb sample in our sample data folder (C:\Program Files\Alteryx\Samples\en\SampleData) that you could try opening. If you are unable to open any Access database, the issue might be with the driver. If you are able to open the sample .mbd database, can you please post a screenshot of your Dynamic Input Tool's Configuration, the names of the files you are trying to read in with the Dynamic Input Tool, and a screenshot of the tool in your workflow?

I'm getting the same error as anbugans. I'm currently using version 11.8.4. I get this error when trying to use a legacy ".xls" Excel document in my workflow. I believe anbugans may have the same issue. I'm not attempting to use MS Access at all.

Are you using the Dynamic Input Tool to pull a user specified Excel (.xls) spreadsheet? If so, can you please include the entire file path, including tab name, then update the Dynamic Input Tool to read the entire file path? If this does not resolve the issue, can you please post a copy of your workflow?

I am using the Dynamic Input tool. From your reply, I tried a few different things by adding the formula tool and some settings on the Dynamic Input tool but I'm still getting the same error. For this workflow, I'm trying to open the most recent ".xls" file in the directory.

Which version of Alteryx are you currently using? Can you please try using three pipes to delimit the sheet name from the file name in your Formula Tool instead of one? Also, can you confirm that the first sheet you are trying to read in is in fact Sheet0, and not Sheet1 or another name? Finally, if neither of these changes resolve the error, can you please try running this workflow with a file path that does not include any spaces?

I'm currently using version 11.8.4. I did try three pipes instead of one but to no avail and, strangely, the sheet names are actually Sheet0. I also eliminated all spaces from the path and file names. I'm still getting the same error.

Here's something that's unexpected though. In my directory tool, I'm only looking for the ".xls" extension.but I seem to be picking up ".xlsx" files in my workflow too.I did try deleting these xlsx documents from the directory but that still didn't solve the problem.

We recently Migrated an access database onto a SQL server. Upon completion we began testing the database using the front end access database we had (Our previous setup involved two access files, one for front end and one for back end.) We almost immediately received the error.

Now we do have multiple people working on these front ends but at the time of receiving this message, I'm the only person accessing the data. My general process for testing it has been to insert the data using the form. then attempt to delete the data. I know for a fact the data is making it to the table and I know for a fact I'm the only one viewing or attempting to edit this information we used an ODBC connection to attach SQL server to the front end. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated, I will be monitoring this thread heavily so Expect any questions you ask me to be answered relatively fast.

This problem occurs if fields with a bit data type in the SQL Server-based database have been left blank. Microsoft Access interprets blank fields as fields that contain Null values, and the Jet database engine does not release them. As a result, the records remain locked and are not available for deletion.

I was getting this error even though I had no bit fields and no nullable fields. I stopped getting the error when I changed the DATETIME fields to SMALLDATETIME. The only thing I could think of was that Access mis-interprets the dates and then tricks itself into thinking that something else has updated the date. I thought this because I had seen another comment on a different thread that Access can round differently than SQL Server.

I added a timestamp field to the table in SQL server and re-linked it in access and that did the trick. It also solved the edit issues I was having with the table. Hope this helps other folks as well. The table already had a primary key field but apparently also needs the timestamp field.

I don't know if I should post here, or start a new topic. I am receiving the same error. I have Toad for Oracle 13.1 64 bit, and MS Office 2016 64 bit. Fresh installs of both. I have two Oracle installations, 12.2 64 bit, and 11.? 32 bit which I require for SAP Business Object IDT. I don't know where to look or what to look for to see how the products connect together to be able to export the data to any form of an access database.

John, I have been using Schema Browser> Tables. Select table(s) Data export as Access Database Files. I have an empty directory mapped that has always accepted these files. An external user later opens these Access Database files with 'R' for use in reports.

We had been using ACCESS 13 for years with no issues with TOAD up to 13.last... Since last report time, I have moved to TOAD for Oracle 14.. -- and we moved to Office 365 which changed all Office applications to 64-bit.

Now I am getting a message from Toad stating: "Could not load the Microsoft Access Database Engine. This is not the full MS ACCESS product, just the runtime engine. The 64 bit version is required for this version of TOAD."I tried with the old 32 but installation of TOAD and got the same message, except that it stated that the 32 but version is required for this version of TOAD -- which is 32 bit -- That is why I thought moving to 64 bit toad would work -- but it did not.

Download the Microsoft 365 Access Runtime which allows you to run Microsoft 365 Access applications if you don't have the desktop version of Microsoft 365 Access and need to use an application built to run with Access 2010 or later.

I tried various things, such as reinstalling and downgrading the version, and found that if I uninstalled "Microsoft Access database engine 2016 (English)", which I installed to use Excel with ArcGISPro, Word started as if nothing had happened.

I have never experienced such behavior, although I just upgraded from MS Office 2016 Professional to MS Office 365 with previously installed Microsoft Access database engine 2016 64 bit. That's why it seems to me that the right address for your question is Microsoft.
Maybe the solution would be to remove ms access dB engine and install MS Office 365 and then to re-install ms access db engine 64 bits (if your office installation is in the same architecture - 64 bit).

JET stands for Joint Engine Technology. Microsoft Access and Visual Basic use or have used Jet as their underlying database engine. However, it has been superseded for general use, first by Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE), then later by SQL Server Express. For larger database needs, Jet databases can be upgraded (or, in Microsoft parlance, "up-sized") to Microsoft's flagship SQL Server database product.

A five billion record MS Jet (Red) database with compression and encryption turned on requires about one terabyte of disk storage space[citation needed]. It comprises typically hundreds of *.mdb files.

Jet, being part of a relational database management system (RDBMS), allows the manipulation of relational databases.[1] It offers a single interface that other software can use to access Microsoft databases and provides support for security, referential integrity, transaction processing, indexing, record and page locking, and data replication. In later versions, the engine has been extended to run SQL queries, store character data in Unicode format, create database views and allow bi-directional replication with Microsoft SQL Server.

There are three modules to Jet: One is the Native Jet ISAM Driver, a dynamic link library (DLL) that can directly manipulate Microsoft Access database files (MDB) using a (random access) file system API. Another one of the modules contains the ISAM Drivers, DLLs that allow access to a variety of Indexed Sequential Access Method ISAM databases, among them xBase, Paradox, Btrieve and FoxPro, depending on the version of Jet. The final module is the Data Access Objects (DAO) DLL.[2] DAO provides an API that allows programmers to access JET databases using any programming language.

Jet allows multiple users to access the database concurrently. To prevent that data from being corrupted or invalidated when multiple users try to edit the same record or page of the database, Jet employs a locking policy. Any single user can modify only those database records (that is, items in the database) to which the user has applied a lock, which gives exclusive access to the record until the lock is released. In Jet versions before version 4, a page locking model is used, and in Jet 4, a record locking model is employed. Microsoft databases are organized into data "pages", which are fixed-length (2 kB before Jet 4, 4 kB in Jet 4) data structures. Data is stored in "records" of variable length that may take up less or more than one page. The page locking model works by locking the pages, instead of individual records, which though less resource-intensive also means that when a user locks one record, all other records on the same page are collaterally locked. As a result, no other user can access the collaterally locked records, even though no user is accessing them and there is no need for them to be locked. In Jet 4, the record locking model eliminates collateral locks, so that every record that is not in use is available.
