Hi,
I have a problem when trying to refresh Queries. I created a file, which needs some data from other files, so created a few Queries. Everything was working fine until now, when I started getting the error:



[DataFormat.Error]|ErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_FAIL90x800004005).
or
[DataFormat.Error] The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.



Also, the file, which I need to take the data from (let's call it "source file") is opening "read-only" on the screen, when trying to refresh the Query. The source file is the file, which is saved daily, it's got exactly the same format of data every day. So, the plan was to Edit the Query daily and change the File Path in Source to today's source file. I also have other Queries for other files, which are working fine. That second error message says something about the file being opened by another user but other files are also opened and there are no issues there. Also, when it was working before, the file was opened and the Query was refreshed no problem. Any ideas please ?
