Ok once the users are off I will check everything and do a server reboot. Hope it's one of those ones that go away.

nope no new changes to hardware or software. report working last week... i am thinking the whole turn it on and off at the end of the day. the error is likey to server side rather than client ?

Hey guys when trying to run a report we have run many times before we get this http://i.imgur.com/0QTQMK5.jpg any ideas?

can anyone advise on this please?

replaced the Finance folder from c:\proggy files on the machines with issues from the pc that worked.

ALL working, replaced the finance folder on the local drives with the one that worked and hey presto! cheers guys!

thank you i will do so now

i could try that, i did try coping the ini files, but that did not do the job,

yeah just a shared one on the "S" drive.

glad im not alone, that was what it was doing for me at first, changing the ini file to the same database. odd it works fine on 32bit machine, but the 64's i just get the same database

OK well i have the two databases attached and i can access both by editing the ini file. i ran the FMS database selector and completed the steps. it made a master ini file on the SIMS drive, so all can see it, that appears to work as if i change the database name that updates. it works on the one machine, the others ignore the selection and load the original database..

Hi guys been setting up this database selector to allow the school two have two FMS databases. bugger me it looks straight fwd and was until i try and login. i have the "original" FMS database and a "new" blank one. i have installed on 4 machines, which include 2008 sever and 3 Windows7 machines. However no matter which database i try and login to it just loads the original database, apart from on just one of the the 4..... which happens to be the only 32bit machine... any advise chaps or is that my issue... does not work on 64bit

Yeah tried that. Really confused. I have checked dbattach and the database is there. I can easy dB upgrade my sims and Fms. Its just this one.

no sadly not i tried that, get this error. http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/74/errrb.jpg

yeah im a bit confused. i can login to DBattach with SA and my password. i see SIMS & FMS as well as the new FMS database i have just attched. however when i run DBUPGRADE i t asked for a user name and password, none seem to work. im required to update it, but i can't
