SQL Express and SalesLogix Database Problem Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 30 Sep 08 4:01 AM

Installed SalesLogix and SQL Express and When I try to attach the database we get the following error.

Directory lookup for the file “c:\program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\SLX_user_dat.mdf failed with the operating system error 5(error not found)

Any ideas what would be the cause of this

Thanks
derek

Hi Derek,

Is there some security issue with the user that is running the SQL Server process on this PC on that folder?

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your reply

Not sure what you mean?

This problem occurs when When I use Saleslogix, attach remote to attach the remote user database, I get that error.

Regards
Derek

Hi Derek,

When AttachRemote works, it first copies the database to the default SQL data folder (in your case, c:\program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\) then it calls into SQL Server to attach the database (probably calling sp_attach_single_file_db). Now, if there is a security issue with the user that is running the SQL Server service, one that means that it can't see the file, then you might get a file not found error (although I am just speculating here).

Did the file even make it into the c:\program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\ folder?

You could try using AttachRemote \admin to attach the file in a different folder and see if that works. With the "\admin" switch, the file is not moved, it just tries to attach it wherever it is.
