Run-time error '61704': Internal application error.

Error Message

When executing an AddRelate in a MapObjects application, the following error may occur:

Run-time error '61704': Internal application error.

Cause

This error is caused by the Database or Name property of the Table object not being set correctly.

Solution or Workaround

• Make sure the string passed to the Database property on the Table object contains the correct path to the database file.
• Check the syntax of the string passed to the Table.Database property.
  
  Using Jet syntax for an MS-Access table:
  
  

  Code:
  tbl.Database = "c:\mapdata\Streets.mdb" 'MS-Access
  tbl.Name = "Stplus" 'Access Table 

  
  Using DAO syntax for a dBase (version 4) table:
  
  

  Code:
  tbl.Database = "dBASE IV;DATABASE=C:\mapdata\"
  tbl.Name = "streets#dbf" 

  
  
  

  Warning:
  The dBase filename must conform to the 8.3 file naming convention. 

  
  
• Check the permissions on the database file. If the file permissions are set to Read-Only for the users attempting to AddRelate the file, the error will occur. Change the file permissions to Read-Write (or equivalent) for the users who will be accessing the file using AddRelate.
