Hello Chas,

We also have our shared toolbox on a shared network. Everyone (SolidWorks Users) has full permissions to those directories. I assume that, like us, you are not using PDMWorks.

First under “Tools/Options” “Systems Options” Tab, Go to “Collaboration” turn one the “Enable multi-user Environment”

The next thing to check is toolbox options. Under “Toolbox/Configure Browser” options On the “Browser” tab, option “Copy part File” is set to “No copy” and under “Writing to read-only documents” is set to “Always change Read-only status of document before writing”

All the users need to be set up this way.

If that does not work. I might want to look at rebuilding your SolidWorks registry keys. Go to the "Copy Settings Wizard" and save a copy of you settings. Then go into the registry and delete the entry for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks" Save the registry and restart SolidWorks. The application will rebuild the registry to the factory default settings. Try your part now. If it works rebuild your settings by hand and do not reload the settings from the settings wizard. If you still have the issue you can reload your setting from the "Copy Settings Wizard"

I will send this issue to my VAR and see if they have an idea.

"This is the information I got from my VAR." Give it a try.

This is caused by C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\OLE DB\OLEDB32.DLL not being registered, damaged, or missing a dependent DLL. Try registering the DLL manually. If manually registering the dll fails with a error "link library failed...", then the user can attempt to resolve that error by manually re-installing the Microsoft Data Access components from:
