DAO Error Message

[nraponi]

Hiya
I am getting a DAO error message quite frequently, sometimes the error comes up a couple of times but the function still works (i.e. creating RTF documentation) and sometime the function fails (such as adding new model authors or creating a replica).

The error message is : -

"DAO.Database[3703]
Operation not supported on replicable databases that have not been converted to the current version"

I am running build 659.

Another machine running the same build does not exhibit the problem, even against the same model file.

Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this?

Cheers
Nick

One thing you should at least check is the JET version used by the repository and the EA installations. By default, EA has the option set to JET 3.5 (options menu). JET 4 is targeted at MS Access 2000 and is more stable. If some users switch JET versions various problems could occur.

If you're using a replicated model created with an earlier databasemodel of EA (not sure which version, see in about box) it might be that only the master could be converted to the new model and that the replicas should be recreated.

Some guesses, hope one will help you.

Greetz,

Thanks for the ideas Tjerk.

I had the Jet option set to v4 already, however setting it back to v3.5 has stopped the error messages from appearing.

Not sure what's changed as I've had it set to v4 for as long as I can remember.

Are there any issues with running v3.5?

Are you using replication? If so, did you open the master using JET 4.0. I guess the master and the replications need to be set for the same JET version.

This is the master that I am opening, and other users don't have the problem with the same file and they are also using Jet v4.

Thanks again.
