I am getting this funny error message with one of my client when the user is trying to log on his NAV (client - server mode). “You cannot use the file D: \Navision… \xxx.fdb because it is already in use”.He is selecting the proper server name and database name. This problem is eratic, and the client have to restart the server to get it working everytime.
It look like they are tring to connect directly to the database instead for through the service - The first connect will be ok and then the second will get the message. Check all the clients.
the client is connected to a server. But do you think we have to verify the services on the server if it is failing after some time, and this is why after rebooting the server it is working properly? But other users are not getting this problem who are also connected to the same server…
In my experience, it’s a user who is connecting direct what is causing the error and the reboot is just clearing the connection. Check that noone is logging onto the server and launching a session which is connection locally instead of using the service.
How many sessions are connected?
It is most likely the client that is displaying the error but a different client.
same thing ever happened to me, with 40+ user/sessions.
like DaveT said, just make sure all of connected sessions are using database server connection.
dear Lord <— seems like i’m praying ha ha ha …
yes you are. you need to check every client working with NAV if their connection parameter is correct.
just make sure, server name is filled with correct server name and not [Client Only].
database name is filled with correct db path.
Do you guys think it can be a general server problem? Because i checked the client’s server’s event viewer and i can see lots of errors and conflicts. THe client have been rebooted the server nearly everyday for numerous network related issues.
