Invalid Procedure Call

45 Views

Using CR 2011 I created a fairly complex report. It links via odbc to an access database that performs several queries to extract data from Sage BusinessWorks. All was well, working great. However, now all of the sudden, I get an error "failed to retrieve data from the database" Database connector error. DAO error code 0x5. Invalid procedure call"

I have no idea why it is doing this. I was trying to get it to refresh the database on opening the report from the design software (without clicking the refresh button). But it has been several days and I don't remember what, if anything, I left behind from those attempts. Or even how to go about checking for it. I have a saved version of the report in case I trample on the report as I make changes - but it is doing the same thing so I don't think it is any changes that I did that is causing this.

Does anyone have any ideas why it is doing this and how I fix it? I can't update the report for changes since it crashes every time now.

Any help is appreciated.
