| I am working with a DTS package that has a connection to MS Access. In Access I have a user named "update" that has rights to update the tables. When I type in the user name "update" in the Connection Properties window(in SQL), I recieve this error:Error Source: Microsoft Jet Database EngineError Description: Cannot start your application. The workgroup informaition file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.I don't get this when I type "Admin" for the username. What am I doing wrong?Thanks,Lane |

This may not be what is happening in your case, but I've seen this error when the path to the DTS file is very long. |

| I've also had numerous problems when DTS'ing to an Access file, especially on a network drive. They also went away when using the Admin login. There's also the Access LDB lock file, that needs to be available and modifiable by the DTS process, and I think that using Admin is the only way to guarantee the proper permissions. |
