    Robosouce Control 3.1 - Unable to connect to db

    Mitelman Community Member

      Hi,

       

      I've got an RH 7 project in a RSC 3.1 database running on a remote PC. I created the db myself and everyone in my dept can access it but me. When I try to connect, I get an error: "Input string not in a correct format." along with a link, "Show Stack Trace...". The link displays the following:

       

      Input string was not in a correct format.

      at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)

      at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)

      at System.Convert.ToInt32(String value)

      at NG3.Core.ConfigurationSettings.GetIntegerSetting(String name, Int32 defaultVal)

      at NG3.MTConnection.NG3MTConnection.Connect(ConfigurationSettings settings, String connectionAliasName, String user, String pwd, Boolean bRememberPwd, NG3MiddleTierSession session, OfflineOption offline, Object loginDialog)

      at NG3Explore.OpenDatabase.selectButton_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

       

      I tried reinstalling both RH7 and RSC 3.1 but to no avail. The fact that everyone else can access the db tells me there's nothing wrong with the way I set it up. The only thing that I can think of that might explain my problem is that I logged on to the remote PC (the one hosting the RSC db) using my own Windows account when I set up the database. That would be the same account I'm using when I try to connect to the db from my own PC. Btw, it doesn't matter whether I try to connect through RH or RSC Explorer; I get the same results from both.

       

      Any ideas?
