Thanks to all the responders (Paul Crisp and Lars Nielsen). Original Question: When trying to opoen a workspace I get this error: "File #0 not registered for access" The error stems from a query incorporated in the worksapce. I have 12 such identical queries with different parameters. MapInfo produces the error on the 3rd query. The queries use tab files linked to Access.
This problem arises when accessing an Access MDB file that is "locked" through being open in another process inluding Access itself. The presence of a LDB file in the same directory as the MDB file gives evidence of the MDB file being locked. Larss suggested that too many tables were open - I have thirty something lalyers which work fine. Paul suggested using native Tab files (copies) which was not feasible due to update/link issues.
