v16β - new .EAPX schema?
« on: January 13, 2022, 03:29:06 pm »
We have a number of .eapx files that are generating a
"DAO.Database [0x00000d0e]

Invalid Memo, OLE, or Hyperlink Object in subquery 't_object.PDATA2'"
error under v16β (both versions).

Searching the Net doesn't bring up anything as to what the error means.

We have (in the past) "hijacked" t_object.PDATA2 and this has caused NO problems up to and including v15.2.

Since null is a valid value for PDATA2 we ran a test making the column null for all objects.  The problem persists and the upshot is that NO diagrams show ANY objects (whether PDATA2 is null or not).

Did we miss a schema change between v15 and v16β?  If not, what can this error mean?  Anyone else seeing this?

TIA,
Paolo

BTW: in the past, we have had error messages from EA that are spurious - that is the error is NOT what is claimed.  Unfortunately, as in this case, the actual problem can't be determined since the message provides no direction for the investigation.

Not experienced that exact problem but I am finding that some eapx files open okay and some I get DAO.Engine [0x80004005] cannot open a database created with a previous version of the application.
Haven't had time to look into it.
All the eapx files open okay with V15.2.
Happy to help
:)

Thanks, Sunshine,

Good to know we're not alone!
