Carlson Survey – importing .shp files
Posted by jph on November 16, 2021 at 3:28 pmI know I’ve done this in the past, with earlier versions of Carlson Survey. I just can’t seem to do it now, with CS2019.
Is it still part of the basic software, or does it require an add-on now? Thanks

Not sure about 2019, but-
I’ve had issues with the .mdb file creation in the past. I don’t remember which version of CS.
I believe I used this for a fix.

Yeah, I looked that up too. It’s just not letting me make a mdb.
I’m onto something else now, but will try again later. Thanks anyway
@jph The inability to create Access MDB files is essentially related to the deprecation of the Jet Database Engine (see the Deprecated MDAC/WDAC Components discussion which states in part):
Microsoft Jet Database Engine 4.0: Starting with version 2.6, MDAC no longer contains Jet components. In other words, MDAC 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8 don’t contain Microsoft Jet, the Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider, the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers, or Jet Data Access Objects (DAO).
There’s no 64-bit version of the Jet Database Engine, the Jet OLEDB Driver, the Jet ODBC Drivers, or Jet DAO available. For more information, see KB article 957570. On 64-bit versions of Windows, 32-bit Jet runs under the Windows WOW64 subsystem. For more information on WOW64, see the MSDN WOW64 documentation. Native 64-bit applications cannot communicate with the 32-bit Jet drivers running in WOW64.
Instead of Microsoft Jet, Microsoft recommends using Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition when developing new, non-Microsoft Access applications requiring a relational data store.
The suggestions at Carlson Knowledgebase article 827 as cited earlier might address the issue for the recent Carlson 64-bit applications but creating the Carlson GIS Settings in the Carlson Database format or SQLite/Spatialite format would be my initial recommendation. I hope this information helps.
