Got a strange problem going on with Myriad at the moment, We've recently upgraded to the latest version and it all seemed rather stable apart from the odd occurance of the RES closing without warning but for the past two days Myriad in the On Air studio stops playback then comes up with the error "There was a problem opening a connection to the contacts table to update Last Login Date information and the error's description was reported as: "ODBC call failed""  

Any ideas what could be causing this error as its beginning to cause us mega problems and I cannot find the root cause.

thanks

Hi David,

We actually had a power outage during last week and all seemed to come back online fine but it knocked our link transmitter off so we have been on sustaining service.

The hardware and network connections have been unchanged, Windows Updates are done monthly but this started before the latest updates were applied. I've also done a virus check and checked the server logs and both the audio mirror drive and the main disc with the database seem fine. 

We havent updated any of the SQL server versions as far as I'm aware. Unfortunately our support has ended and being a community station it's not in the budget to renew at the moment.

I'm just wondering if the database has maybe got corrupted during the power outage although it seems to run fine for several hours.

thanks

Richard
