      How to Fix - "Operation is not allowed when the object is closed" Error

       

      "Operation is not allowed when the object is closed" Error:

      Additional Information:

      • After regular updates of the Skyline and AutoCAD applications, there may be times where the applications no longer recognize the installed versions of the Microsoft Access Database Engine. A simple uninstall and re-install of the Microsoft Access Database Engine will quickly resolve the issue.

       

      Resolution:

      1. Save all your work in Skyline and AutoCAD
      2. Exit out of Skyline and AutoCAD
      3. Open the Start Menu on Windows
      4. Go to your Control Panel and search for Uninstall a program
      5. In the uninstall a program window search for and uninstall  "Microsoft Access Database Engine (2010-2016)"
        1. If you have 2007 installed, you will also need to uninstall it as well
      6. Re-Install the "Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010-2016" and the 2007 version if needed
        1. Note that you must install the 2016 driver first, and then the 2010 driver. 
      7. Relaunch AutoCAD and Skyline

      Additional Information: A secondary error "Operation is not allowed when the object is closed" may also appear. The resolution will be the same.
