When the file size is huge in Etabs and not able to generate a proper .mdb or .accdb file in Etabs which in turn gives error of some or other element missing upon importing into RCDC then we recommend to create .mdb file in 3 easy steps and further merge all the .mdb into one . 

The following procedure is explained in the video as well as the screenshots below . 

Step 1) Export .edb file with below selections but without Load Combination

Step 2) Now prepare an Mdb file by selecting only Load Combinations.
