Has it ever worked since you moved DBA to a new server?

No, we moved to the new server over the weekend and it has not worked since. The connections at the workstations point to the new server, so I am not sure what is different than it was before except new hardware. The file ERRMSG.B file exists in the same location on the new server as it did on the old one, so I don't understand the "can't find" message.

We had the same issue here when we moved to a new server.

If you can, my guess is firewall or permissions is blocking the connection. If your new server is WIN 2003 or 2008 and you are still using Pervasive 2000, they don't play well together. You can call us at 866-516-3282 and we can see what we can do to help.

Thanks to all for your help with this.

At the server, the error message is: An Error Occurred Trying to Load BTRIEVE: ERROR: 20
At the workstations, it is the ERRMSG.B message.

I did run the Gateway EXE.
We have the same version (as far as I can tell) of Pervasive at the server as at the workstations (9.5).
Windows Firewall is not on at either the server or the workstations. Everyone has Full Control Access to the DBA and PVSW folders (though this was never true on the old server, I just wanted to make sure that wasn't the issue).

It is a good thing we only rely on DBA for historical data as opposed to running the shop...or I think I would be out of a job! This application pre-dates me and I know nothing of SQL, so your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Error 20 means that the database server is not properly up and running. This would explain why workstations can't do anything. If the file server doesn't even have it's database up and working then you aren't going to get the clients working either. The oracle says that the reason for this error 20 problem could be one of these:

1. Corrupted files. Reinstall pervasivesql
2. Permissions problems. Try doing the operation while logged in as the administrator. If it works then you had a permissions problem
3. The database server could be broke. This might also be fixed by reinstalling.
