I ran against the same problem.
the easiest way I found out was not to open the database file but use the
system
DSN created Snmpcollect_ds
This is not the same as opening the database but if you want to use
information
from the database in scripts this is good enough.
a good example is creating downtime reports.

Hi,

I want to manipulate the snmpcollect_db.mdb file using Access, but I am
getting errors when I try to open this file.  It appears that I need to
have

some missing permission.  I have set ALL the NT security, & taken ownership
of the file, all to no avail!

Anyone know how to use this .mdb file?

Hi,

     I have Netview 5.1 for Windows NT 4.0.

     I have tried to open the database: "Snmpcollect_db.mdb" with Microsoft
Access, and I get the following text:

     "The current user account doesn´t have permission to convert or enable
this database"

     I´ve tried to open it as Administrator, and as user "netview", and I
couldn´t.

     How can I open this database wih Access?

     How can I change the permissions?

Thank you very much.
