Thread: access 2000 - cannot carry out action at present time, error 2486
access 2000 connecting to postgresql db ODBC driver 7.03.01 Postgresql 7.3.2 -- error message 2486 cannot carry out action at present time Leaving an open form without activity / Connection idle for approx 2 hours seems to result in this error ODBC refresh adjusted from the default 1500 seconds to 60 seconds (Tools ->Options->Advanced) and this no longer seems to be a problem. No idea on why this occurs though if anybody can shed any light it might be useful -- Boolean values work fine for me as long as you stay clear from null values as an option. If there is a null value in a boolean field I get the error: Write Conflict - This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. I think this has been documented elsewhere though. -- I just thought i would post what worked for me incase anyone has a similar problem.
