I found the solution. Just to document what was going on in case this can help anybody else.

We're importing two files from the RF2 Canadian version into MS Access to be able to automate several of our activities. MS Access - as I said - it's not the best tool, but it's the one that everybody has available so I'm stuck with it.

I imported the Description file and also the Refset file. We then do some SQL queries between these two tables and two other input tables. When a new version of SNOMED CT Canadian is available I need to upload these new versions. When I was doing that, it was throwing this error I documented earlier.

After several trial/error and looking around, it seems that the DB gets too big for MS Access, so this is what I needed to do.

Load up the Refset and Description tables, delete the contents - but leave the table schema in there. Then, use the MS Access option to compact and rebuild the DB. Then, load the Description table, then compact and rebuild again, and then load Refset. phew....

Maybe this helps somebody else - at least to stay away from MS Access :-)

Never mind. Just found out that MS Access is bonkers (who would have thought!? :-)

What a terrible piece of software. If you have any other option to use anything else but Access, go ahead and do it. The problem is internal to Access (not sure why, but starting from scratch both the Refset and the Description RF2 files load OK - go figure).

Hi Kelley,

I'm having a real hard time updating my tools with this new version. The Description table worked OK but the Refset is not importing.

I am doing the exact same steps that I did with the March release, but this one is throwing an error when trying to import into MS Access. I'm including a screenshot here in case somebody has any ideas. I have spent over an hour trying to find something wrong with the file, but I don't see any problems. I'll keep looking but just in case somebody has any ideas.

There's no way to attach an image here so I uploaded it here for those who want to see the error:
