Summary:
I am trying to use Ci.Recipe Manager within CitectSCADA, to Display and modify data from an Access database table which has more than 100 columns. I am able to display the data, however when trying to update (Change Values) I get the error message below. The same happens when I try using Excel or DBF files. Why is this happening?
 

 

Solution:
There is a limitation within the driver, which does not allow bi-directional data support for Access database tables if the table has more than 99 columns.  The same applies for Excel and DBF files. Work around is to use SQL. Tests with SQL database have proven to be successful, with more than a 100 columns.
