Project Database Services

When opening a project, the following message appears:

"Unable to communicate with Project Database Service."

The Error Message details shows:

How can this be resolved? It is preventing me from properly navigating projects and editting components.

Will it work with other projects?  Our project name is extremely long.  That might pose a problem.  Most project names are something like a job number or a document number. I've seen names like a machine name or ride name, but never as long as your project name.

It doesn't work with any projects I have. I have never seen this issue in the past but am working on a different computer than usual. I have tried other solutions posted in the AutoCAD Electrical forum and still cannot resolve the issue.

Can you open the demo project?

[Anonymous]

Yes, but I get the same error and the project still does not function as it should.

Have you tried a repair install?

Maybe you have tried this as I think this has been posted before but the below step have been know to correct the issue.  These steps are for Windows 7, in other OS's the files might be in different locations:

1) Exit AutoCAD Electrical

2) From the Start menu, in the 'Search programs and files' edit box enter:
          regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\MSJET40.DLL

You should receive a Succeeded message

3) From the Start menu, in the 'Search programs and files' edit box enter:
         regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\MSJETOLEDB40.DLL

You should receive a Succeeded message

I did try this and it has not resolved the issue

When I have had to do an uninstall and a reinstall I always clean my registry in between the uninstall and reinstall. Sometimes this cleans out the leftovers that are causing problems. Not always, but it has fixed the problem for me a couple of times.
