Hello,

I posted this problem a few days ago in the pervasive\devtalk forum but
got no substantial help so I try it in this forum:

I just downloaded DDF Builder 4.0 and installed it. But after starting
the builder I get the message 'An error has occured when creating this
view' under the tab 'DataSources'.

In the log I find some entries which are older than my installation but
also some actual entries like

Control Center is installed (Version 9.10.020.000)
This is the first installation of the Builder, no beta was previously
on the machine.
I de- and re-installed the Builder and got the same result.

What is wrong with my installation?

Might be worth a re-install of both the Builder AND the 9.1 engine.

I tried it (installation and re-installation of the client and the
builder) on two different machines (Win2000 and XP), both with the same
results:
PSA shows errors when checking relational access (at Create Table,
Update/Insert Data)(Btrieve Error 25)
DDF Builder shows up with the message mentioned above
I tried it again as admin but the results were the same (Btrieve Error
25).

I don't know if the error of the client-installation causes the problem
with the Builder or if they are independant.

Should I re-install the server too? Do I have to consider something
special?
Can I install the client direct from PSQL_9.10_Windows_Client.exe or
must I first install the 9.0 Client and then run the 9.1 patch?

Questions over questions, and it looks to me that the old 'Run out of
the box' principle of P.SQL 7 doesn't apply here any more. What a pity.

BTW: I didn't mention my configuration yet:
Novell MW 5.1 SP8
P.SQL V9.1
Clients: Windows 2000 and XP

One way to help figure it out -- try turning on MKDE Tracing right
before you run into the Status 25. Then, look at the resulting log
file and see what it was trying to do.

I've only tested the new Builder on Windows 2000 boxes running on
virtual machines, and unfortunately I don't have a NetWare server that
can run PSQLv9 to test it on.

YTour best bet is likely to open an incident directly with Pervasive
tech support....
