Hi all,
I reinstalled the client software again. I'd swear I did everything the
same way as the last few times I tried, except this time I told it to
create a Report Builder icon on the desktop. Then I opened a report with
it, successfully. Then I tried my Vantage icon again, and it worked.
Maybe I did something wrong the first few times I installed it, or maybe
this time, the Report Builder icon placement jogged something in the other
one. It hadn't created the Vantage.vtg icon the first times I'd tried. No
idea why...
Thanks for your help everyone!
Best Regards,
Gary Grenier (IT Manager)

-H = host. Check your Host, LMHost, Wins and/or DNS for old and new
server names. Make sure the ip address matches.
Another option:
Create a shortcut something like the following.
V:\Progress\bin\prowin32.exe -db V:\Vantage\db\Vantage.db -N TCP -H
ServerName -S Epic50
Start in: V:\Progress\bin
You can try the Server ip instead of servername for the -H.

Hi Paul,
This is what mine looks like:
[Vantage Startup]
Executable=V:\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe
Database=V:\VANTAGE\db\vantage
IniFile=V:\VANTAGE\vantage.ini
ParameterFile=V:\VANTAGE\db\Vantage.pf

TempDirectory=C:\Vntgwork

What is -H for? You have "anchor" in there. I was wondering if that's
supposed to be the server name. If so, then it's one error on mine, as
"vantage" is the name of the old server.

Gary,
From your desktop, right click on the Vantage shortcut you are using and
select
properties. On the shortcut tab click on "find target". This should show
you the
icon on your mapped drive to the server.
Verify this is the correct MFG file you want to use to start Vantage. If
so, right
click on it and select edit. Verify that the mapped drives are correct,
etc. and
that you have permission to them.
I've copied and pasted ours from Vantage 6.1, yours should be similar.
We use "P:"
drive for our mapped drive letter.

Jim,
Thank you, I verified that mainmenu.r exists on the new server.
I verified that I did not mistakenly map to the old server. The V: drive
is definitely mapped to the local epic51 folder on the new server.
I verified that there were no entries in the hosts or services files
referencing the old server.
This server is brand new, so the IP address it has is its original (that
I
assigned to it).
Todd,
The client I am using is installed on the new server. I have users who
connect remotely and will need to use Vantage while on the server.
They've
been running that way on the old server for years.
Paul,
I verified that I am connected to the correct share, but is there more
to
what you said than verifying that I'm mapping to the new server epic51
folder as opposed to the old server share?

The file you are looking for is Mainmenu.r ".w" is the source code
version and ".r" is the compiled version. The file should be located in
the epic51/vantage folder.
You don't mention the client, mapped drive (share) etc. If you are using
the same client that connected to the old server make sure to uninstall
old client then install/reinstall client from new server. Also make sure
the old server is not mapped. As someone else mentioned make sure to
check your Host and Services file. Remove the entries for the old
server.
Assuming you have changed the IP address on the new server search the
Registry for the old IP address. If you are comfortable with it, delete
the entries - backup first if needed.

Subject: [Vantage] Mainmenu.w not found
Hi all,
We're running 5.1. We haven't upgraded in years, as we were purchased by
another company who uses their own homegrown ERP package. We continue to
use Vantage only for data collection, job entry and materials
management.
The new company told us we could use it that way "until it breaks" at
which
point, we will be out of luck. Anyway, I am setting up a new server and
am
having trouble getting Vantage to work on it. It's all installed, and
the
DB is running, but when I double click the Vantage icon, I get a gray
box
with the messages:
mainmenu.w not found (293)
Unable to run startup procedure mainmenu.w (492)
I did a search for that on the server and came up with nothing, but I
had
the same result when searching on the soon-to-be-retired old server, so
I'm
assuming it's not a free-standing file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
