There are 2 possible solutions. One is to edit the QRVLINKS file with a text editor (Word, Notepad, etc), and manually remove all duplicate lines. Note that the line of text has to be exactly the same (including version numbers of programs, field names and numbers, etc) for you to be able to delete one (or more) duplicates.

The other solution - should you not be able to delete enough duplicate lines to make the error go away - would be to get the most recent version of Quik Reports.

I'm not aware that Adagio writes to the QRVLINKS file, though it's possible.

As far as your question about autodisconnect is concerned, is there a problem you are running into with a certain program?

NEW MESSAGE FROM PETE

Thanks a million for the prompt and useful reply. I chose the first option and removed the duplicate lines. My only addition to this method was that before attempting to edit the file, I backed it up first. Although we use 6.5a (991022) we probably won't upgrade unless there is some major reason. I'm pretty sure this client is going to move to Adagio and will prefer to spend the bucks there.

Question re QRVLINKS.LD4
I see lines in this file that begin with program codes and versions that we don't even use here and probably never will.(eg "QI62A", "JC61A", "QI61C") Could I delete these lines as well to free up more links that may really be required in the future ?

Re: Autodisconnect
I don't have any specific problems in this area. This was just something mentioned in another posting which seemed to be similar in nature to the Opportunisitic Locking Registry Issue that the ACCPAC Plus System Managers have on Windows NT/2000. I was just wondering if "Autodisconnect" was another registry setting that needed some tweaking and if so what were the issues associated with it.

Thanks again for solving the QR problem in such a timely manner.
