Windows 10: Problem with Access database after KB4487017/KB4487026

We use an Access 97 database for our applications as a master database, so we can easily destribute this to customers. We access this master database using Adox to get the tables and columns (fields), compare it to the live SQL database and make changes where necessary.


Since the patch, we are getting errors when requesting the columns for wider tables. We are using an Adox.table and then use the .columns. When doing this for tables with more than 128 fields (exact number not sure) give error 3251 "Object or provider is not capable of performing requested operation".


This is causing all kinds of problems.


Anyone know of a work around, or what is causing the problem now?

Recover access database

Looks like you will need to rebuild the whole thing but at least you have the data still, right?
EDIT: Wait did you try this?

Convert a database to the Access 2007 file format

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...-the-access-2007-file-format-HA010048406.aspx


You cannot convert a replicated database to the Office Access 2007 file format. However, you can use Access 2007 to create a replica of a database that is formatted in either the Access 2000 or the Access 2002 - 2003 file format.


More copy and paste:
[paste:font size="5"]Convert an Access 97 database, Convert an Access 95 database, or Convert an Access 2.0 database.

• Click the Microsoft Office Button
  
  , point to Save As, and then, under Save the database in another format, click the file format to which you want to convert.

• If any database objects are open when you use the Save Database As command, Access prompts you to close them prior to creating the copy. Click Yes to make Access close the objects, or click No to cancel the entire process. If needed, Access will also prompt you to save any changes.

• In the Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click Save.

Access creates the copy of the database, and then opens the copy. Access automatically closes the original database.

Recover access database

Did you try this yet? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283849

Run the Compact and Repair utility. To do so, follow these steps:

• If the database is open, close it.
• On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Compact and Repair Database.
• In the Database to Compact From dialog box, select the file that you want to compact, and then click Compact.
• In the Compact Database Into dialog box, enter a new file name, and then click Save.
  
  If the compact and repair does not succeed, you will receive a message stating so. This means the damage is so severe that it cannot be corrected.
