Unable to create new connections in Designer

The New… button isn’t enabled on my PC but works on other PCs (using the same user account). Any ideas? All PCs have the same version of Designer.

hi and welcome to B :mrgreen: B

it sound like a right issue but if it is not the case, check the connectivity (middleware, oracle or sybase client here ?) or maybe some components have been forgoten during the install of this client box. Check uninstalling / reinstalling it

Thanks for the reply and welcome to BOB :slight_smile:

What rights specifically should I investigate? I have checked the install on both clients and they are identical. I’m not sure what you mean when you refer to checking the connectivity, can you elaborate?

Thanks!

Can you able to connect to your database from your machine with any SQL tool?

If its Designer XIr2 then ensure and double check that the offending machine has XIr2 SP2 installed

I reinstalled BO and had it working for a while. Now, after SP3 upgrade, New is again grayed out…ugh.
