MS Access Forum / Replication / November 2005Removing old data from Rep Mgr
When I open Replication Manager 4.0, I get an invalid path error. this is left over from an old replica set that existed on a defunct share. How can I stop getting this message?

Hard to say. Does it go a way if you open a different replica set?  SignatureDavid W. Fenton http://www.bway.net/~dfenton dfenton at bway dot net http://www.bway.net/~dfassoc no. I can open a Replica Set and use all of Rep Mgr features without any problems, but I just get this annoying message every time I open it. >> When I open Replication Manager 4.0, I get an invalid path error. >> this is left over from an old replica set that existed on a >> defunct share.

Have you searched the registry for the offending path? Have you run the ReplMan wizard again to get rid of any references to teh offending path? SignatureDavid W. Fenton http://www.bway.net/~dfenton dfenton at bway dot net http://www.bway.net/~dfassoc David, thanks for the suggestion to look in the Registry, I can see the value in Managed Replicas Key, but I am not sure how to edit the binary value. Can you provide any guidance in this area? >>>> When I open Replication Manager 4.0, I get an invalid path >>>> error. this is left over from an old replica set that existed on [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > the ReplMan wizard again to get rid of any references to teh > offending path? > David, thanks for the suggestion to look in the Registry, I can > see the value in Managed Replicas Key, but I am not sure how to > edit the binary value. Can you provide any guidance in this area? If you don't want to edit the key, my suggestion is to attempt two things: 1. in Replication Manager, from the FILE menu, choose MANAGED REPLICAS and see if the problem file is listed there. If so, unmanage it. 2. if that doesn't work, try deleting the registry key entirely. You may have to run ReplMan and remanage the appropriate replicas, but that should recreate the key, if it's necessary. As to editing a binary value, seems to me that it's not hard. You just have to find the beginning of the file path. And if there is more than one replica in the value, just delete from the beginning of one path (eg., E:\Data..., or \\MyPC\Data...) to the beginning of the next replica's path. If you're scared about it, export the key to a REG file, nad if you mess it up, you can delete it and then run the REG file to restore the original value. SignatureDavid W. Fenton http://www.bway.net/~dfenton dfenton at bway dot net http://www.bway.net/~dfassoc Thanks, that fixed the problem. >> David, thanks for the suggestion to look in the Registry, I can >> see the value in Managed Replicas Key, but I am not sure how to [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > mess it up, you can delete it and then run the REG file to restore > the original value. |
