    Hello everyone and happy new year 2013!

    Ever since upgrading from ACADE2012 to ACADE2013 I have had numerious problems with the database handling of the software. I´m not sure what´s causing this behaviour and would like to know if some of you guy´s are experiencing something similar. I´m working on a 32 bit system running on Window´s XP.

    Thank´s in advance.

    Regards, Gary

    Gary,

     

    Sorry you are having trouble. I do not have any answer for you; just wanted to say I have been using 2013 for about 6 months with Windows 7 64 bit without seeing that problem.

    Hi Gary.

     

    I've had to reinstall AcadE 2013 twice since September.

     

    My problem is that for some reason, the catalog database i flagged "read-only", so I'm unable to save new data to the databse via AcadE. Doing it in Access works fine :smileyhappy: The MDB-file is NOT flagged read-only anywhere else...

    But, this I could live with.

     

    I had to reinstall because the lookup-button made AcadE hang.... 

    Re-installed, and copied the catalog-mdb back... everything works fine again...
