Hole Wizard error: cannot find swbrowser.mdb
Hole Wizard error: cannot find swbrowser.mdb
(OP)
My PC was recently wiped clean and a new install of XP SP3 was completed. I had saved my old "C" for my SW settings and had used that data as my "Save SW Settings" backup. I have since reinstalled SW08 SP4.0 and all is dandy except for a Hole Wizard error "cannot find database swbrowser.mdb". I have searched the forum and the support knowledge base and tried the suggested solutions (registering dll's, pointing the way for SW to the swbrowser.mdb, etc.) but I cannot get the Wizard to work.
Help would be appreciated! Suggestions?

The Error Message comes up "Cannot find the Standards database C:\Program files\SolidWorks (3)\SolidWorks\Toolbox\data utilities\lang\English
I've tried to redirect via the options menu and I've tried creating the SolidWorks (3) path and copying the data into that file. Niether worked.

Nope. The last SW install was 08 SP4.0. I tried the updatebrowserdataresu.dll to be sure the database was current. No help there either.

The only other thing I can think of, is that seeing how you have a new XP install, is that certain ODBC Data Source Drivers were left out on the install. Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources. Check out under User DSN to se if you have a MS Access Database driver installed. If not, you'll want to install the MDAC_TYP.exe from windows (google search for MDAC) . Note: If you are on x64, install it in windows 2000 compatability mode (right click on exe, properties, compatability), otherwise, it may put the dll's in the wrong place.

The MS Access Database is there.
My options are dwindling....

You might also try searching the registry for SolidWorks (3) and see what comes up.

Not sure of what I am looking for in the registry.
