SAP GUI 7.30 patch 3 history problem

[Former Member]

Hello all!

I use SAP GUI 7.30 patch 3 installed on Windows 7 32bit and I got problem with history, it doesn`t work.

I see *.mdb file in %user%\AppData\Roaming\SAP\SAP GUI\History . It`s always created after deleting.

In traces I`ve found records about errors:

CSapHistoryDb::GetExitPoint: Microsoft Access Database Engine can`t find table or query "localtabchain".

I`ve already checked all referencing SAP notes about fixing MDAC and so on. But Windows 7 doesn`t have tools for MDAC repair, the file is system and locked.

Please, help!

Hi,     I tried all answers indicated above. But only most basic one worked. Just verify that settings are OK (as in post by Daniel Mead 29-Mar-2013 00:29) then close SAP completely . Then delete .mdb file in %user%\AppData\Roaming\SAP\SAP GUI\History . Once you logon to SAP again , it will create a new .mdb  file and should have resolved issues. This solution worked for all (half a dozen) of my users that had this issue.

Thanks,

Jason.

Thanks Jason,

this also worked for me. (SAP GUI 7.40 Patch Level 6)

Unfortunately, there is no way to restore the historic entries. I tried to replace the newly created .mdb file with the old one but then the history function doesn't work again.

Thanks Jason, This little trick worked for me where I do not have authorization to modify any registry settings nor apply any patches.

Thanks again.
