Can't create remote database - Stream does not support writing

[haslamjd]

Our ACT master database will not create any remote databases. It tells us: "Failed to create remote database. Stream does not support writing." When we try to create a remote database.

I have done all the repair and checking to see if the database is corrupted or not, and it is fine. We use ACT9 or 2007, and the server is on a SBS 2003 box. Our existing remote database was disabled by a third party tech, and now thinks it is a master database. We need to create a new remote database to restore the disabled remote database and allow synchronization to work again.

Any help appreciated.

Are you trying to create the remote database on the actual server and to a location also on the server... both need to be local patchs (not mapped)

I am trying to create a remote database from our master database that is on our server. I am saving the remote database in a file folder that the remote computer is able to access. Our issue is almost fixed. Tech support (after Iput down $300) identified the issue as an .NET 2.0 SP1 problem. WE removed the current .NET installation, rebooted, and installed the .NET 2.0 off the Sage ACT disk.

I could get a remote database now, but the new issue is that the tech had me import the old database into a new database, and we lost 397 records in the process. ARGGGH!

Re-do the import with Duplicate Checking turned off.
