Title: Betrieve Error 35 Directory Error
Post by podell on 02/02/05 at 06:26:27

We have just installed DBA again on our new server after a crash last week. We have upgraded to Windows server 2003 with XP workstations. OUr DBA seems to be working properly with a couple of exceptions. (using pervasive 8.0) The most scary one is that we are unable to use maintain database. It comes up with a betrieve error no matter what file or company you click on. We though it might be that we had to be logged on as administrator - but thats not it! Then we though maybe we had to do it directly on the server - Nope thats not it! Our path name to our DBA files should be
W:\DBAMFG\01\The file name we are trying to access.
The error message gives us this path
W:\DBANFG01\The file name we are trying to access.
As you can see the backslash is missing in the error message. Can anyone out there give us a hand in solving this problem. I used maintain database earlier this month to correct a couple of reversals of checks and when the DBA Tech support helped me they forgot to tell me to fix the A/R agings report to remove these two invoices that have been paid. My checking is correct but these two invoice still remain in the AR agings. I need to remove them. I thought about trying to trick DBA by doing a credit voucher but then that affects the sales reports. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! We saw a routine in Pervasive were you can rebuild betrieve files but we are not sure what this does????

Did you run MDBFXREG from UT-A on the workstation you are trying to access MDB (Maintain DataBase) from?

No, do we need to?

Yes. And then generate the data dictionary. You need to do this on ANY workstation that you want to have access to MDB.

Hello all,

I am having the same exact issue; however when I follow the steps and run MDBFXREG and then run ODBCDDF it does not fix the problem.

Any ideas? My path is N:\DBAMFG\company subfolder\datafile.

When I run ODBCDDF for the main company it pops up a path of N:\DBAMFG\ if I leave it or if I change it to N:\DBAMFG\COMPANY SUBFOLDER\ it still gives me the same error.

ODBCDDF........is that the right program to recreate the data dictionary?
Help
