This problem is related to the configuration of the Borland Database engine, (BDE). The problems are most frequently seen when a user has upgraded from v5 to v6 of Goldmine. When this is not the case, the problem is more frequently seen with GoldMine v6 than v5.
Typically, the problem is related to one of two configuration settings for the BDE:-
- Share Memory Settings
- Configuration file settings
Suggested settings for the BDE SHAREDMEMLOCATION are:
From the tools menu in GoldMine select the BDE administrator option. This will launch the BDE administrator. Click on the configuration tab and expand the "System" part of the tree. Click on the INIT branch and change the settings for SHAREDMEMLOCATION. NOTE YOU MUST RESTART ALL APPLICATIONS, GOLDMINE, INAPORT BEFORE THE CHANGES TAKE EFFECT.
