Something veryy screwy is going on here, but I haven't a clue what.

Business objects are in the same assembly

I am depending totally on the framework - I just jave a main MDI form and have been creating child forms.

I have lost references to all my business objects.

My strataframe veriosn is showing as 1.6.5.0.

Could that ne a problem. I saw in another thread that the verson was 1.6.5.3...

I would go ahead and install the latest one from here: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost18786.aspx

When installing, don't skip the update to the SF database, just accept all defaults.

What OS are you running?

XP SP2. BTW, I gave up and just decided to re-create the solution from scratch and now I cannot configure my brand new BO in my brand new solution. The configure option is disabled. WHat do I need to do to fix this?

One more thing - which version of the source code should I be using. I found that I needed to rebuild the solution in order to step through the framework code when debugging...

Sounds like your husband may have prevented your app from seeing the SF database.  He must be mad at you for something.  Could be that sp_executesql thing.

Nope - this is on my local machine and he does not mess with it. Something is seriously hosed hetre and I don't know what to do. I can't even begin a new solution and start over from scratch.

Are you working on a mapped network drive?

Has that changed somehow?

Something obviously changed, we just have to figure out what

One more silly question: If this is purely on your local dev machine, does that mean that the strataframe database is on your dev machine as well? If so, have you checked to make sure your SQL server is running?

No. I am working on my local machine.

I have installed the latest version of Strataframe. I have built an entire new project from scratch. And now I cannot configure business objects because Strataframe has no clue what the applicaiton database is.

I have wasted countless hours that I cannot bill for on this. All I want to be able to do is to start again from scratch and get something working that I can show my client.

How can I tell Strataframe where to look for the application database. I actually set up a new application key in my new application and got prompted for the connection string. Even after I entered it, the BO Mapper's Configure option was STILL disabled!

All I want to do at this point is to start over from scratch and it appears that I cannot even do that!
