I'm trying to connect my database to Altium using *.dblib file. After i connected, i have chosen neccesary table and mapped design parameters to database field names:enter image description here

Then i have tried to use components from this table in my project, but "Place" button was disabled, and there was no any previews, but paths in "footprint path" and "library path" are valid: enter image description here

Also if i try to open symbols or footprints using popup menu in table, nothing happend, but as i already said, paths are valid: enter image description here What i'm doing wrong?

Usually I experience this when I forgot to add paths in the model and search path. By pressing the Option button in the DbLib file.

I have not added footprint paths or library paths as separate entries in the database though.

But you say this is properly entered, and I can only think of one other issue:

I have experienced that if I change the database, mdb files I need to restart Altium before I see the components appearing in the preview.
