Error in Database Options Configuration

[Rafi2003]

My Teststan installation includes TS4.1 and TS3.5.  Under c:\ProgramFieles\NationalInstruments I have dir 'TestStand' and also 'TestStand35'.

I'm running an application written in TS3.5 and it run fine.  However, when I select the 'Database Options' I get the following run-time error:

An error occurred calling 'DisplayDatabaseOptionsDialog' in '_CTsDBOptions' of 'TestStand Database Options'

-2147417851; User-defined error code.
Possible System Error: The server threw an exception.

Step 'Database Option - Display Dialog' of sequence 'Edit Database Options' in 'Database.seq'

The file 'Database.seq'  is included in the 2 TestStand directories.  How do I know which file TS is trying to access?

Thanks

Hi Rafi,

From what you are saying, it looks like the database sequence is corrupt in 3.5; a repair install of TestStand 3.5 would probably fix this error.  You can repair TestStand by navigating to add/remove programs,find "National Instruments Software" and click "change/remove". In the window that appears, select TestStand 3.5 and click the repair button. Hope this helps!

Rafi -

Before you do a repair, have you run the TestStand Version Selector again to ensure that the correct TestStand engine and the correct Database Options server is registered? Then see if the problem still occurs.

When you get the error, you should be able to break on the error, right click on the step select a command in the context menu to request the sequence editor to open the sequence file for the step, then look at the path of the file to determine which file is being run.

Hi Rafi,

Just wondering if you were able to resolve this error. Let me know if you are still having problems!

Hi Al,

I ended up formating the disk and reinstall TS4.1.

thanks
