Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions Tech Tip

Question:
When making a backup, or restore, an error message will occur. The Error Header says "ODBC.NET Error", and the message body says: "ERROR[HYS12][Microsoft][ODBC dBase Driver] Index file not found"

This only occurs on version 8.0x


Answer:

Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions utilized the Dot Net framework which required some Microsoft updates that not all computers had.

Resolution
Upgrade to Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions version 8.5 or higher to remove the need for the Dot Net framework.

More Information

If on a network, after upgrading to version 8.5 or higher, the shortcut target will need to be changed to make the shortcut point to the cmsmain.exe on the network drive instead of the workstation's hard drive. After this has been done, client.exe must be run on all the workstations.
