Fatal Error:unable to connect to database

[ryadav]

Hi everyone

Great to be onboard!

One of my clients is using Autodesk Architectural 2007, and when she runs a macro in a drawing she gets the following message:
'Fatal Error: Unable to connect to database (Cannot open database requested in login 'QUEMIS_20040814_test' Login fails')'

Just to clarify 'QUEMIS_20040814_test' is our old database. However, when she runs the macro in other drawings the error does not appear. So I am really not sure where to start on this one.

Is it something that needs to be amended in the .DVB file? Or can I just amend the information in frontend of Autodesk?

Can you please advise?

It may be the DVB, why not debugg the DVB by stepping thru the code using F8 and see where it fails...

I have never debugged a dvb file before, so how would i go about it?

You are talking to a complete novice here:(

hmmm.whom wrote the DVB in first place. ?

Let me give you abit of background, basically my clients use an estates management system called Quemis, which runs off a sequel server. The people who develop this system sent me the DVB file, which I copied to the hard drive of my clients machine. So she opens the drawings in CAD, which are kept on the main estates server. So when she runs the macro it comes ups with the error attached before. I have reported this problem to the software company, but they are still investigating it.

Maybe its more of a Quemis problem than AutoCAD, but its annoying because you don't know where to start.
