bug: could not write to sms.dat - worked fine before

[Mille]

I've recently started to recive a message that the SMS.dat could not be created.

I've been using this MPE installation since 1.7 was released without this error.

I think it happend when I ran up of disk space on my C: drive, but I'm not absolutly sure.

I also see that the SMS.dat is created, but its size is 0 bytes.


NOTE: Removing the file solved the problem with the error message. But the bug remains. This shouldn't happen.


Here is the error log

I think it has todo with access-permissions for the profile-folder. Maybe the folder is write-protected

[Mille]

No its not. And like I said, I haven't change anything since version 1.7 was released. MPE has worked without any related problems.

(I had no problem navigating to that folder and deleting the file with the very same user account.)

Strange - you can try to move your database. (Menu-File-Settings-Advanced 2).

If this does not help: Do you get also an error after syncing your phonebook ?

I'm sorry i'm wasting your time,
but like i wrote in my note in the first post, the problem is solved.

Just wanted to post the incident as a bug.

The problem disappeared after removing the 0 bytes SMS.dat file.

The reason here is not user- of file rights in Windows.
