Help I can not import ext.data using DCR

Hi all,

I have converted all our company relations into a MS Access database and I want to import it into Lotus Notes.

I have the following configuration:

1PC with running with

XP professional

Designer 6.5

Domino

MS Access Database with company relations

I have used all the instruction of lesson 10 of the intermediate course.

in summary:

  • I have the decs-task running on the server

  • I created the data source on the server with an ODBC connection to the MS Access database

  • I created the DCR to the different MS Acces tables (using the browseMetadata button)

  • I created the forms using the browse option to connect to the DCR in the default tab

  • Per form per field I marked the External data source and used the browse option to fill out external references

But still when I want to import external records I get the following error:

“Server error: File does not exist”

I really have no clue what file doesn’t exist. Any ideas???

What may be related or might be a coincidence.

If I try to lookup information from the same database in the following scenario:

Database1 does a lookup in Database2

In a form field in Database1 I have a combobox

@DbColumn(“”“”;“ServerName”:“DatabaseName1”;“viewName”;1)

this runs well,

but when I omit the ServerName

@DbColumn(“”“”;“”:“DatabaseName1”;“viewName”;1)

I get the error “Server error: File does not exist”

It seems like I need to have a complete path in order for the database to be recognized.

Does my problem has any thing to do with the way you implement a database on the server?
