I have an access database that links to a copy of paradox tables from a
bespoke system
All was fine untill this week when some pc's can no longer link to these
tables giving the message 3275 unexpected error from external database driver
(11270)
Anyone have any ideas - there aren't any other live connections to the
tables when this error occurs
 
yeah... that's why I use Access Data Projects-- so I don't have to
deal with CRAP odbc drivers


sorry

but SQL Server is faster than anything else on the market

I have found the answer to this in case anybody else needs it
In the folder containing the paradox tables were 2 tables with .lck extensions
PARADOX.LCK and PDOXUSRS.LCK - as we were linking to a copy of the tables
that are not used for anything else I was able to delete these files and the
error message no longer appeared
