HELP ! > Upgrade FP2000 (office 2000) to FP 2003 (Only) - Win 2000 + all updates

[David Martin]

HELP - Someone else MUST have had this problem -

Server - Windows 2000 Server - all Sp's and updates (as of today) installed
(except NET stuff).

Client - OFFICE 2000 Pro (Win 2000 Pro - All Sp's and critical updates -
most recmmended)

Installed - FP 2003 PLUS Office 2003 OWC.
Also installed OWC 2003 on Server.

Worked on developed pages - all pages using database results regions stopped
running - giving .

Database Results Wizard Error
The operation failed. If this continues, please contact your server
administrator.

O.K. looked in KB - nothing that helped.

Yesterday tried deleteing the _fpclass folder ( which will be recreated by
FP 2003) - but this does not do the trick.

reinstalling FP 2000 and again deleting _fpclass folder does solve problem
and return functionality - but why ?

I realis(z)e my install is a little unusual - with all the updates and the
multiple iis tools 2 use - could there be confusion between subwebs/webs and
folders and vitual stuff etc between the versions ?

p.s. after installing fp 2003 I did get parent paths problems - easy 2
solver (by using the iss service manager).

any help appreciated

Don't you always forget one important point - all works fine until server
reboot - when problem appears.

So I guess it must be a difference between iss 2000 with FP 2002 SE's and FO
2003.
