Hi

After updating RDM Free to version 4.6.0.0 the above error is shown on RDM startup. When opening RDM all configuration are gone. I've been looking for previous version for RDM Free, but can't find em.

Any light on the subject would be appreciated :)


Kind regards, Ole

Hi,

I do not see the error that you have in RDM 4.6.0, could you include the image or paste the text again please?

About the previous version of RDM you could download RDM free 4.5.3 here.

Hi Ole,

I'm sorry I didn't see the title error. And unfortunately the data source Access is available in 32bit only, RDM 4.6.0 is now only available in 64Bit.

You could use RDM 4.5.3 to connect to the Access Data source and from them you could export it to another data source.

We have a free data source which is Devolutions Online Drive, that could easily replace Access and also you could have a direct access from your mobile.

Best regards,

Hi David

Thanks for taking your time, to solve this issue.

I've startede version 4.5.3, but it says that access-db is only for enterprise (when trying to add new data source)? I've only been running free-version (for years), so how do i import my old configuration?


Kind regards, Ole
