Runtime error

I have a client who is getting the ^Cannot open database table^ error when running reports in Runtime. Normally this is becuase it cannot locate the files. During testing we have found that some machines exhibit the behaviour whereas others work. We have a bug in our application code that passes the wrong path to the RI_MASTER field in the Runtime control file. However, we also have an RRW.INI file in the application root directory that has the correct data path.____My question is this. What will take priority, the Runtime control file or RRW.INI and in what circumstances? This is most peculiar as I think it should fail everytime. Is there an issue with what versions of R&R you have installed as opposed to runtime? The Runtime files are Version 9 but we have other (full) versions installed on our server.____Thanks for any help you can give.____Eddie Marshall

The control file path should take precedence every time.____Kathleen__R&R Support

This does not appear to be the case in some instances. Do you have any idea why this might be?____Eddie

No explanation. If a path is set in the control table, that should be the only path that we us and should error if it is not found.____Kathleen__R&R Support
