Database problems at individual workstations

When FORMS is run only on a single workstation, its databases rarely fail. If an abnormal situation occurs, make a note of all error messages and codes, as well as the situation that preceded the problem, and then try the following steps:

  1. Exit all FORMS modules. Then restart them one by one, noting any error messages.

  2. Exit all FORMS modules. Delete all log files from the Log directory. Unlock any locked forms. Then restart FORMS, noting any error messages.

  3. Use Repair processed forms and Repair processed sets to repair any defective forms/sets.

  4. If FORMS still fails to run, you can try deleting the first form or set.

If the above steps fail, please contact your local distributor or ReadSoft Support.
