May 15 2017 Release (2.46.4732.721) Failure to Refresh

Submitted by Advocate I on ‎05-16-2017 07:20 AM

This has been an issue since the Original April Release.  I continue to revert to the March 10th release as it is the last release that allows me to refresh my data.

 

I just tried the latest May release and the issue persists...

 

I have received two similar error messages between my two data models:

 

First: "DataFormat.Error: You attempted to open a database that is already opened by user 'Admin' on machine 'xxxxxxx'.  Try again when the database is available."

 

Second: "DataFormat.Error:  The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'xxxxxxx' that prevents it from being opened or locked."

 

I have found that the error only occurs when refreshing from a database that sits on our network drive - I am using an Access Database as the datasource and if I copy the database to my local machine and redirect the datasource in Power BI Desktop, then the model refreshes without issue.

 

Please fix this issue - having to copy the database locally on my machine in order to refresh is not a viable work around.  I continue to run the March 10th release until this is fixed, wishing that I could access some of the new features that were introduced in April and May...

 Hi @nbailey - Did you hear back at all? I'm running into the same issue myself. It throws the same error when i try to refresh multiple datasources from the same access file. Thanks.

Sorry @madhana_nitiyan, I wish I could give you hope, but I'm still running the Desktop version from April.  This issue was "accepted" and a ticket logged on 5/17/2017 by @v-haibl-msft, but since then I have heard and seen nothing.  I continue to test new releases on my own, but have yet to see the issue resolved.  Perhaps if more people respond to this post with the same/similar issue they'll decide it is important enough to fix....

 I did some more testing. I copied the database backend I was trying to connect to (it resides on a network drive) and put the copy on my desktop, now I get a different error: 'Microsoft.PowerI.OleDb' is not registered.
