Error 3048 - cannot open any more databases - surprising
This same error started for me today too, after a MS Office update applied to my laptop. I have just one MS Access DB open with a split-end. It manages to load, but can't do anything without this error popping up. The project is decades old, and I've keep very precise in closing recordsets and then setting them to null once done with them.
Microsoft have updated something, and screwed up part of MS Access.
The thread linked by Karl Donaubauer had solutions to this problem that worked for me; MS update has caused the issue. Read that thread for updates/fixes/commentary.
I am having the same error. It is clearly from the latest Access update. I have a machine running the old version that has not yet updated and this error does not happen. We need clear instructions from Access if this is being fixed or what steps we have to take to work around this problem.
- Indeed, Il confirm that I'm facing the same issue that seems to be due to an update.
Hi,
If you are the Todd Haugen I met in Redmond some years ago, then I have to reply directly: 😉
Yes, the Access team has announced a fix. Until then the workaround to put the database in a trusted location is recommended: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/b2dce32b-b8b0-41f1-ba40-7876e524d9da

Access DevCon- Thanks, but when will this New release be installed on my PC?
Karl_Donaubaueryes, same Todd Haugen. Sadly I am no longer with Access, it was my passion but Microsoft had different ideas for me... Hope all is well with you!
