Hello Brad,

Where was your new database template stored previously?  I hope it wasn't in the installation directory; no modified templates should be stored there.

Assuming it was elsewhere it is possible that the Network Path or Template Path in ESdat got reset in the uninstall/reinstall process.   If that is the case then resetting that path should fix the problem.

If you can't find the previous version of this template (this shouldn't happen, it should be on your server in a specific template folder) you can obtain a new copy of this template from within the installation folder (C:\Program Files\ESdat\Templates) - copy it to your nominated Network/Template Path.

Regards,

Warwick

Hi Brad,

You can open your new database template and edit through ESdat just like any other project database http://www.ESdat.net/ESd...ts_access_versions_o.htm

You shouldn't store customised templates under the installation folder, or you will lose them when you update.

For the new project template you will need to copy the .mdb and the .esd file (see above link) to a permanent folder for templates, and set that path in ESdat (the Template Path). 

For this particular template you can rename the files (both of them) in order to make it easier to be sure you are using your modified template when you start a new project.

If you have a project (database file) open in ESdat and click the Access button on the right it will open that same database file in Acces.  You can check this by checking the path in ESdat under File - Other, and in Access under properties.

Regards,

Warwick
