We installed the latest subversion of V3 of both the server and client. The server seems to run fine but we can not get the client to work. When opening the client we receive the following error while the splash screen is still visible: Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Automation error The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. The program then closes. We have tried running as normal user and administrator but the same error occurs. The server and client are both running on windows 7 Ultimate but on separate machines. The log files are stored on a shared network drive. Microsoft VB5 Runtime has been installed on both machines. Any advise would be greatly received.

Not sure if it was in that early version, but if you put /debug on the shortcut - does it create a folder on your C:\ called "Debug" or "Debugfiles" - and then we can take a look at the files.

I haven't got my notes to hand to the exact files you need, but I'd search theMS website for the Visual Basic 5 run-time re-distributable files and install them, then Powerlog client should play nice. Another thing to be aware with Powerlog 3 being built for XP you may run into UAC Virtualization "niggles" on newer versions of Windows ifyou have multiple windows users on a machine as what was designed as 'per machine' Powerlog Client settings get virtualised away into 'per user' settings. -- Myriad user since 1998, now custodian of dozens of Myriad,Autotrack, Powerlog and Scoop boxes of many different flavours. http://www.philedmonds.com Edited 10 Years Ago by philedmonds 331

We did manage to get the client to work twice several weeks ago using run as administrator but that's not working either now. It's looking like we may just have to accept we need the new version. Thanks for the help though appreciate it 316
