    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.

    Please use plain text.

    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.

    Try reviewing the journal recorded by Revit for more information on the error.

     

    The following document has information on the location of the journal files:

    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.
