When I run my part through, normally, it sends the stats to Datapage at the end of the program. Now, I'm getting an error message: "Cant open dbd File - Error 5". HELP!
We have certain parts of PC Dmis that are networked, but Datapage only runs on the PC itself, in the C:// drive. I have Datapage set up for different parts, and when I try to open each folder, I get the same error message. I assume all the files are corrupt then. I will try an reboot the PC, but I have a feeling all the files are corrupt. Before I went out of town, everything was working fine. But I come back on Monday, and it starts giving me error messages. Weird.
What's crazy is that it'll let me into some of my Datapage files, but not others. The most recent one's I've created (this month), it will let me into, and it will let me delete the Vista and LOCKMGR.BDL file. But the older files, I can't even get into. I get the Error 5 message, and when I try to delete those 2 files, I get Access Denied.
It won't let me edit any of the files with the 8 or more characters, they're all "Access Denied" no matter what I try. Even if I try to delete the files, it won't let me do that either. I created another file, and Datapage sends the stats to it, no problem, no error message, and nothing is "Access Denied". I just want to prevent this from happening again.
Did anyone change your user permissions? Error 5 is Access Denied.
I think that SABarber might be on to something here. Has anything changed in the last month that might effect your user profile? For example a user name change, maybe a computer update, password change? There could have even been some kind of IT change that may have blitzed something in you user profile. Try to check your user permissions for the corrupted files, not just the file permissions. What version of Windoze are you using? I have XP and on mine, depending on what IT allows, I can check the user permissions for a given file. If you right click on one of the files that it wont let you access and select properties there is a security tab, at least on my version of Windoze, here you can check user permissions for the files in question. Verify that your login name has access to work with the files in question. You will especialy want to verify that you can change the lock files. If there was some sort of change in the last month to your user profile and you don't have correct user rights it MAY explain why you can create new database files (files created under your current profile will automatically have full rights for your user) and old files may not let you access (user profile does not have enough rights). Just a stab in the dark, but it will take you less time to check than it did to read all of this...
