[sims] FMS application error

[dfriday]

Hello,

 

We currently have FMS version 6.128 running on 3 admin stations without any problems, I have just tried to install FMS onto a new station and have got this error:

 

Exception in Module finance.exe at 0016BDB9 stack level exceeded in finfunc.p_Handleredirect.

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this.

 

We do not SIMS on any workstations if this helps anyone.

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

 

Do you have a default printer setup on the workstation your trying to setup?

[dfriday]

Yes we do have a default printer, it is the same printer as the other workstations (HP LaserJet 2015)

[vikpaw]

is it the same in every other way as the admin stations? same type, on same subnet / vlan etc.

I've seen this before.... *searches memory*

 

I've got a feeling that it's something in your FMSconnect.ini...

Nearly every error I've encountered with FMS crashing on startup has been solved by setting a different printer to be the default printer, opening FMS, quitting, then setting the one you want as default back again, and re-opening.

The setup is exactly the same on all of the admin stations. I have copied the FMSconnect.ini file from one of the working stations, but that still didn't work. The computers are all on the same VLAN and subnet etc

With some installs of FMS workstation somehow it becomes corrupted and a little trick I have learnt is to copy from a workstation which is running FMS correctly the whole FMS directory from the C:\program Files\Sims\FMS (if my memory is correct) then copy that directory to the affected workstation overwriting the other FMS directory and it should work correctly.

 

Let me know how it goes

Excellent thanks Bossman that would like a little treat. many thanks to everyone's support!

I recently had the same error, I had somehow managed to get the FMSConnect.ini have a line at the end where it redirected to itself, following a botched setup of FDS.

FDS doesn't support redirect. If FDS is used you must not have a redirect line in your fmsconnect.ini in your local finance directory.
