Database error occurred using AutoPlant SS3

Asked By Sherri J Smith 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/23/2014

Hello DBA’s,

When I am working in AutoPlant SS3, in project mode when a new drawing is created the database MDB file is not created. I got this database error message while I am trying to save the changes. How do I get a connection to the source database? I have a doubt whether this error might corrupt my database. Guide me fix the error. Thanks in advance.

ATDB0309: Failed to get a connection to the source database for document C:ProgramDataBentleyPlant V8iBentley Plant V8i ProjectsSAMPLE_IMPERIALPipingDrawings1.DWG

This will force the application to exit.

Database error occurred using AutoPlant SS3

You always need an .mdb file to connect with Microsoft Access data source by using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) administrator or by configuring the data source pro grammatically. By using the MFC Database Classes or the ODBC application programming interface (API) the file .mdb is not possible to create.

Use one of the following steps to configure a data source on your machine.

Try to ship and install the .mdb file along with the application.
Or, make the .mdb file into a user-defined resource and after that copy the .mdb file at run time.
