Opendental.preference doesn't exist

Post by ptddsdo »

"Opendental.preference doesn't exist" error is on my screen after trying to backup my data on a laptop at home. What do I need to do? Thanks. Dr Schoemann

I haven't seen that one before. I'm sure the support crew at OD would be happy to help. I'd give them a call on that one. They are the best in the business at customer support.

That's not good. Could be a lot of things so calling support will be the quickest way to get up and running.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

My best guess off the top of my head is that the restore made has an extra folder in the way. E.g.
C:\mysql\opendental\opendental\preference.*
When it HAS to be something like...
C:\mysql\opendental\preference.*
