Overview

Pervasive Status 46: Access to the requested file is denied

The MicroKernel returns this status code for the following reasons:

  • The application opened a file in Read-only mode and tried to perform a Write operation on that file.
  • The application attempted to perform a Write operation on a file that is flagged read-only by the operating system.
  • When the application opened the file, it did not correctly specify the owner name required for updates.
  • (Workgroup engine only) If a Workgroup engine user or task opens a file that a client machine has opened using a server MicroKernel, the MicroKernel returns this status code if the Workgroup engine user attempts to write to the file.
  • (9.x and higher engines only) The application attempted to perform a Write operation on a 5.x format file. When using a 9.x or higher engine, you cannot perform a write operation such as insert or delete on a 5.x format file.

Peer To Peer Network Solution

In a Peer to Peer network environment, this is usually a very quick fix.

  • Shut down all computers.
  • Now power up the computer that has the System Five data on it.
  • Log into System Five, to ensure that it is able to run on that PC. Leave it logged in.
  • Now log on to each remaining computer one at a time, and log into System Five on each.

They should all be able to log in now without any issues
