256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a Code Librarian file (.clb) from one of the following programs, you receive one of the following error messages: CAUSE
The SystemDB value under the following registry key refers to a secured workgroup information file (.mdw) that requires a password for the Admin user:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines
RESOLUTION
Both of the Code Librarian programs use the registry value that is mentioned in the "Cause" section to determine which workgroup information file to use when opening a CLB file. Because of this, either the System.mdb file or the path to a non-secured MDW file must be specified. There is no method for supplying a password for use with a secured workgroup information file.
To modify the registry key to contain an appropriate value, follow these steps.
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk. - Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
- Locate the SystemDB value under the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines
- Write down the current value in this registry key. That way, you will know the value if you need it again.
- On the Edit menu, click Modify, type system.mdb, and then click OK.
- Quit Registry Editor.
Code Librarian and Code Librarian Viewer should now open without error.
