The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Act 2008 Upgrading Errors, cannot open database.

Asked by TTCLIVE in ACT, SQL Server 2005, Contact Management

Tags: act, database, 2008

I am upgrading from Act for Workgroups 2006 to Act Premium 2008 (EX) and I cannot get a couple of the databases to open (so they will convert). I have a total of 4 databases, 2 converted fine to the new format (SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005). The other 2 just will not open for conversion.

When I open a database in Act2006 format, it tells me "The database needs to be updated...make sure there is a current backup." So I back up the database and then it says "Act will now update the database. This process will take several minutes." It goes into "Updating..." Then says "Exceptions occured while executing Db Schema Update Script. Check the errors in c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sage Software SB, Inc\ACT!\10.0.237.0\_ActSchemaUpdateResults<databasename>09220075926.txt."

Then it just loops back to "The database needs to be updated...make sure there is a current backup." Starts updating, then errors out again. When I hit cancel and stop it, it tells me "An attempt was made to access the framework without having logge on to a database. Please log on to a database first."

I can't seem to access www.ee-stuff.com right now, so here is the Db Schema Update Script error file http://senduit.com/7f3739

I don't know anything really about SQL and how to go about figuring out what's happening here.

I had the same problem on another database, so I restored it using a backup I created before I upgraded to Act2008, and it just errors out saying to check the network connection but the database is local on the machine I'm working on.

When I run Act8 Diag on this second database (which is most important) says "SUSPECT" in the Status field of the database screen. DB size says (null) and the version says N/A. Here is the error log on the second database I was getting before I restored it trying to get it working http://senduit.com/e75b8c

I am doing this on the weekend because these are production databases and I need to keep them running during the week. Unfortunately, ACT support is only open 8:30am-8:30pm EST Mon-Fri, so I cannot get them to help me. I will be in and out for the next couple hours, but I will respond as I can, and will be working on this this afternoon until I get it done (even if it takes all night). Start Free Trial
