Unrecognized database format

[Rob_Jobse]

When trying to import a DB schema from ODBC
The function correctly retreives the list of objects from ODBC but when I choose one or more tables i got the message
Unrecognized database format 'c:\datadir\mydb.mdb'.

The data source connected to my machine data source is just an ordinary msaccess2003 database, An other database explorer has no problems retrieving details from the same ODBC source. I am using EA ver 7.5 build 842 corporate

Am i missing something here ?

Perhaps you have a problem. Are your other users also running an EA 7.5 beta build? And if so is their build 742 or 741?

I think you should send a bug report to Sparx - you will find a link in the top thread of the Bugs and Issues section - and if possible attach the access database you are trying to read. [Remember to compress the file.]

Meanwhile, if you can read the file with EA 7.1 then do so. EA 7.5 should have no trouble using the resulting project. This way you can keep your work moving while Sparx solves the problem, perhaps even in time for 843, but certainly (we hope) before production.

Its not build dependent I tried the last 7.1 as well.

I will send this bug report , Thanks Rob

Also try Tools | Manage .EAP File | Repair .EAP File.

Hi Rob,

Please configure EA to use JET 4.0 Engine. To do so, goto EA Tools | Options | Check "Use JET 4.0 Engine - requires restart" checkbox. After that, restart EA and try to import it again. Also please make sure that, nothing is entered in Schema / Owner text box in Import DB Schema dialog box.

Thanks,
