Details and registration information for the New Hampshire Training and Symposium are at http://www.istechsupport.com/sept06symp.asp.  For those in other parts of the country, we are still planning Chicago in October, and tentatively Southern California in January and Florida in February.

Yes, I anticipate the pricing and basic agenda to be about the same.  Just haven't finalized a facility to hold it in.  The less expensive hotels in Schaumburg area don't have conference rooms big enough but the places like the Hyatt want $185/night room rate which is a bit steep for people coming in from out of town and if you don't stay at the same place as the class, then you are pretty much forced to rent a car.
 
If anybody local to the area has a suggestion, I am all ears!  We had 75 people at the Phoenix Symposium so while I suspect this won't be quite that big, a room that only holds 25 probably won't cut it.

Lynn,
 
Are the agendas for the Chicago & New Hampshire trainings going to be like Phoenix?  Should I attend either or both of these, or wait for 2007 dates?

Lynn,
 
Is this a for sure thing or is there chance of cancellation if not enough register.  I'm getting ready to make airline reservations.

Did we ever find out if the classroom will have wi-fi?

On a related note, I see that we are supposed to have a functional DBA installation for the CR training. Is there a basic tutorial for setting up a copy of an existing installation somewhere? It's been so long since I first installed DBA, and there have been so many updates and revisions I don't even know where to start.

I ran Gateway, and something happened, but all I saw was a brief flash of a small dialog box and it was gone. I was expecting to have to tell it where the data was, or does it HAVE to be in the DBAMFG directory? If so is there a directory structure that has to be followed, or are the data files just supposed to be in the DBAMFG folder directly?
 
Anyways, when I attempt to start Evo I get the following:
 
Error # -1210
Error # 83801
Transaction Error
Invalid transaction file - run recovery utility
C:\ISTS\TASPRO7.LOG
 
Then the license screen shows briefly and another error message - Access violation at xxxxx in evoerp.exe, read of adress xxxxx.

I think the problem is that in our "normal" installation, the program is in E:\DBAMFG and the data is in F:\DBA\[company number]. On the laptop everything is on c:\
 
I ran DBA Classic setup, but there are no company names listed, only [number] and "Your Company Name". I can select a company, but for instance when I try to run SO-A I get
 
"An error has occured while trying to open file F:\DBA\VH\ISIS.BVH - 11".

Well, we're getting somewhere, just not sure where.
 
I was able to run UT-D in Classic and change the location. However I am still having problems (I verified that it did actually change the location by going back to the main UT-D screen and did a lookup on file name - it shows all the .bvh files as in the local directory).
 
I get the same error message in SO-A as before for my real company. The Default Company seems to work fine, but if I try to change back, there is nothing listed in the drop-down, as if there is only one company.
 
I can change to any of the other companies (from the normal one), but get the same behavior as in my real one, including the exact same message that I get in SO-A in my real company referring to C:\DBA\VH\ISIS.BVH, even though UT-D still shows the data for the other companies as on drive F:\
 
Also, if I stay plugged into the network, DBA is VEEERRRYYY slow. Like 10 seconds to draw the menu buttons when you change menus, and up to 30 seconds to open a program.

I'm having similar issues.  I installed Pervasive workgroup, and copied over the DBA files into C:\dbamfg and one company (we don't need/want to put all the companies' data on the laptop).  Ran the gateway program, something flashed and then nothing.  Ran the Evoerp setup, that went OK.  Launched EvoERP and after clicking on OK to log in, I get the following errors:
 
first window:
Error
FILEOPEN ERROR
Error Number 12
Filename:  bksysmstr
program name:  c:\dbamfg\evoerpmenu.rwn
EXE path:  c:\ists\
This prorgram will now end.
 
Can only click OK, and I then get this error:
 
WARN ERR:  FILE:  ADV60.LIB   Line:  2255
You can't quit from a modal form.  
Check your trap ESC commands.
 
Again, can only click OK< and I then get this error:
 
WARN ERR - File:  Evoerpmenu.src, line: 680
an error message record was not found in the errmsg.b file  404.  
 
click on OK, etc. same stuff.  Have to CTRL-ATL-DEL out.
 
Tried Classic setup, which ran OK, but when I launch Classic is gives me the license has expired, etc. etc. and so no go there.
 
How to fix? Do we really have to have DBA running, or just the files present for Crystal usage?

I was figuring it was looking for all the folders.  Didn't think of just creating the folder and copying over the file.  I will give that a try!
 
Thank you,
 
Val

Hi Dave,
 
Neither of these laptops has had Pervasive installed before, or been used with DBA or Evo.  It's a real fresh setup.  I did go in and create the folders as Lynn suggested, and copied over the bksysmstr to each, renaming the extension.  I no longer get the error 12, but I do get what David gets, an access violation error after clicking on OK at login:
 
Access violation at address 00405880 in module "evoerp.exe. Read of addess 00000066
 
And then I obviously can't run it.  But I can use the classic once I ignore the license expir message.
 
Thanks,
 
Val

Maybe I should note that my laptop is running XP Home....
 
What about yours, Val?

I can't see why not. I wouldn't think you'd even need to be able to run Classic, but maybe. Could certainly be helpful if some data needed to be added to make a report work or something.

The Pervasive, Crystal, and DBA/EvoERP installs to these laptops are going to be removed immediately after training, as they are not intended for this use.  We only borrowed them for this symposium.  So please don't waste time trying to figure it out, as it's all being wiped off anyway.
 
Thanks for the offer, though!

That was really an excellent event. Well worth the time. I highly recommend the Crystal Reports training, too. The peek into the future of Evo was very helpful. Knowing that IS Tech is listening and actually working on our issues gives strong incentive to stick with this system for the long haul.
