Pocket Access Question

Hi folks,

This is my first post as I'm new to HPC factor and I have a question for everybody.

I own an NEC MobilePro 790 which I just love, but it seems to have developed a glitch. When you try to launch Pocket Access you get the following error message. "Unspecified Error '0x80070019'" When you press the OK button, Pocket Access terminates itself and closes.

I've tried a soft reset and that didn't help. I could perform a hard reset, but that's kind of a last resort, I really don't want to have to reinstall some 20+ MB of software/documents.

Any thoughts ladies and gentleman?

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide.

Unfortunately error 2147942425 is a file system error. In your case, it is going to mean that the virtual file system shadow of the ROM has become corrupted. Sadly a hard reset is going to be the fastest way around it.

If you use a backup utility, you can save yourself a headache.

Which brings up the point that you got lucky. You could have gotten an error where the entire Mobilepro wouldn't boot or auto-hard reset itself. You've been given a gift...that gift is the opportunity to backup all your files.

Time to do it while you can.

Well, I ran a backup using ActiveSync 3.8, hard reset the mobilepro and Pocket Access worked fine. However, after restored it I still get the same error message. Apparently ActiveSync backed up and restored the corrupted ROM file system...lol. I guess when I have time I'll hard reset it again and reinstall everything back onto it one program at a time.

That suggests that something you installed created a conflict. Have you installed any other programs using the ADOCE or eVB runtimes? (Some of the latter also use the ADOCE files as well.)

It won't have corrupted the ROM, but something in the shadow. A patch file, some sort of corruption got copied through the AS image. Did you install anything specific to update office?

The only thing I can think of that may have corrupted any of the DB files would be that I tried out Spread CE and also another database program, simply called Data. Perhaps one of those caused the problem. But all is good. I had a day off yesterday and I'm kind of OCD with the programs I have installed, their cabs are all in a single folder on my laptop's hard drive. Anyway, I hard reset the mobilepro again and just took the time (about 6 hours) to reinstall everything one program at a time and all seems good. Access is running properly again. In fact the whole HPC seems to be running a bit faster/smoother. Maybe it was worth the effort. I also made a fresh backup file with ActiveSync, so I'll be ready in the future if something wacky goes wrong. Thanks for the help and suggestions guys, I really appreciated it.
