Error

Description

Indicates one of the following:

  • TRUNCATE_EXISTING is specified, and the volume is already mounted or the file cannot be truncated.
  • The volume is read-only.

ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS

The function has succeeded, but the error returned by GetLastError indicates that OPEN_ALWAYS or CREATE_ALWAYS was specified. The database file existed before the call to this function.

ERROR_BAD_LENGTH

The database is too big.

ERROR_BAD_PROVIDER

The specified network provider name is invalid.

ERROR_DISK_FULL

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

ERROR_INVALID_ORDINAL

The name of the property cannot be retrieved from the database.

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

Too many sessions are open.

ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND

The specified path was not found.

ERROR_SHARING_BUFFER_EXCEEDED

ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
