Summary:

This article explains how to deal with error messages
Details:

French PcVue: “14054,%s: Erreur de connexion. Utilisez la dll SVDODBC.”
English PcVue: “14055, %s: Connecting error. Use SVDODBC.dll.”

%s is the database name.

Explanation

To construct a database with PcVue and ODBC, you need SVDODBC.DLL, provided with PcVue.

When you are installing PcVue, a message window asks whether you want to use ODBC. If you have specified that you do not, and if you use ODBC anyway, the Event Viewer will return the above message.

Solution

PcVue makes a call to the SVDB.DLL when working with ODBC. If you have chosen during installation that you will not use ODBC, the file SVDB.DLL is a blank dll, without any code. The .dll you will need to use ODBC is the dll named SVDBODBC.DLL. If you want to use ODBC :

  1. In the bin directory of PcVue, rename SVDB.DLL as old_SVDB.DLL.
  2. Rename SVDBODBC.DLL as “SVDB.DLL

Alteration

Warn

Do not change SVDB.dll as long as you do not install the ODBC driver, otherwise PcVue will no longer start.

If that occurs:

  1. In the bin directory of PcVue, rename SVDB.DLL as SVDBODBC.DLL.
  2. Rename old_SVDB.DLL as SVDB.DLL.
