I am getting an error when exporting my Revit project to Access 2010. I am only getting this error on this file, the utility works on other files. Any help would be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have also tried setting up a DSN to Access through ODBC and I get a different error now, but it appears to be from the same thing. From this error it appears that Revit is trying to put values into columns that have a fixed size and the values are too large. The trouble is I can't figure out what these values are.

Here is the journal file. The program freezes without throwing the error in the journal. I am going to try deleting Generic families to see if that helps.

I deleted the Windows families ( a louver) and it worked. It took it 25 minutes to export the database and showed in Windows as not responding the entire time.
