LACCDB Troubleshooting
Common Problems Opening LACCDB Files
Microsoft Access Removed
You attempt to load your LACCDB file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LACCDB File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Access for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your LACCDB with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another LACCDB application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Microsoft Access Requires Update
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Access won't support your Microsoft Access Lock File file. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Access. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Access Lock File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Access than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your LACCDB file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening LACCDB files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Other LACCDB File Issues
Errors opening Microsoft Access Lock File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Access software installed on your computer. If you are still having problems opening LACCDB files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Issues that aren't software-related:
- LACCDB file type Registry entries are wrong
- Deletion of the LACCDB file description from the Registry by mistake
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the LACCDB format
- Something has caused file corruption of your LACCDB
- Your LACCDB has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers for LACCDB-related hardware are out-of-date
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Microsoft Access Lock File file successfully
Quiz: Which of these is considered a vector image file?
That's Correct!
The unique thing about vector files such as AI and EPS is that graphic details (eg. sizes and shapes of objects) and text remains editable. This allows you can save and re-open them in Illustrator and edit text or other elements within the graphic.
