Database System Error 127, Database files do not exist in selected directory

the Error "Database System Error 127, Database files do not exist in selected directory"

the system : Windows XP, Pc_dmis 4.1, DataPage 3.251

New position, New System, no local expert. I have experience with PcDmis and DataPage

I cannot get into any of the files even when I go through DataPage, Cleared the XStat file.
there are *dbd files available but DataPage does not recognize them (current configeration).
I even tried the Demo file "nothing

Any ideas

Thanks RobConfused

  • You are using what is basically a "DOS" based program. So, conform to DOS naming conventions.... 8.3 is DOS naming..... (filename.ext)

    Another thing to try is to remove (move, rename) the VISTA.TAF file and the LOCKMGR.DBL file from the database directory. Once you do (with DP all closed!), open Datapage and let it re-make those files. Then just to make sure, delete ALL instances of XSTATS11.TMP, search the hard drive if need be, and remove them all.

    If there is a "BAD" database path data in the XSTATS11.TMP file, it will NEVER clear itself out, YOU have to do it, either by editing the file and correcting the database path or by deleting the file.
