Please log in for more thread options Hi Jeff, thanks for the info,...
I used regedt32 and looked under :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE and there is NO ODBC "folder" option
I tried to reinstall MS SQL 2000 that comes with RMS but it gives me
another error:
The instance name specified is invalid.
and then it cancels the installation..
The good news is that I can still access the database from one of my two
other registers that is reading the server machine that I am having problems
with, and I can choose the backup database from there...Do you think I need
to reinstall Windows again and then RMS 1.3 again,... fresh???
