Description

Pasting a feature class from ArcSDE into a personal geodatabase fails if the feature class has a multi-field index containing the OBJECTID field. The following error message occurs:

"Paste Failed
------------
Failed to paste EXPORT_TEST
Failed sending the dataset deleted notification to a workspace extension. [Survey Database]
The table was not found.
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'SDB_FCConn'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly."

OR:

"Paste Failed
Item not found in this collection."

Cause

This is a known issue.

Workaround

Through ArcCatalog, drop the index before exporting to the personal geodatabase and re-create it after the export is complete.

Microsoft Access may also be used to re-create the index if it is required in the personal geodatabase.
