I recently upgraded from Office 97 Professional and Microsoft Word 2003 with an upgrade disk. Things went very well, and I am glad that I updated. Clicking Ignore, and everything works, and if it comes up a second time as it did when I added the Office Assistant.
What do you think is the reason for this error message. Has anyone seen this error message?
I ran the repair diagnostic, and this error could not be fixed.
Error:
Error 1919. Error configuring ODBC data source: MS Access Database, ODBC error 6: Component not found in the registry. Verify that the file MS Access Database exists and that you can access it.
MS Access Database Error Configuration
HI Effie!
This error show up once you installed Microsoft Office of upgrade to a higher one. In your case when you upgraded you Microsoft Office, there are some subkeys in your registry that were removed during the upgrade.
You have to insert these subkeys in your computer. These subkeys are:
-
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareODBC and
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREODBC.Â
Â
To have these keys back on your system, you may install by going to this link:
Â
If same issue occurs, try to look for the Mdac.inf file in your C:Windows folder and paste it in C:I386 or C:WindowsI386 folder.
Â
Hope this helps!
