This seems to happen on one template at a time.
Open Windows Explorer, browsed to \bro\word97 folder. If you find a ~$xxx.doc name of the abbreviated name, delete this document. These documents are usually created when a word document is having issues saving/retrieving from the server.

Try running the form again and it should work fine. |

Should you find files in this folder that have the .doc extension, you may delete them and their cousin files. If it does not allow you to delete the files, a server reboot may be required. |

This happens when you use C:\ drive as the destination directory of your Excel file. Either create a folder on your C:\ drive and add this to your path, or direct the file to the \BRO folder on your server since it should have full permissions. Example: Z:\BRO\JAN1509.xls |
| 42 | Cannot Locate Visual Foxpro Support Library | This usually happens in Terminal Server where permissions are an issue. The first thing you need to do is go to the Terminal Server and run the \BRO\Workstation.exe. This will install the needed .dll files in the c:\program files\ common files\powerbroker directory. You would then move to a workstation, connect through terminal server, and test launching Power Broker. The next step would be to ensure that the \BRO folders permissions have FULL permissions for everyone. If that doesn’t work, you would copy the .dll files from the c:\program files\ common files\powerbroker\viscomsoft folder to the c:\windows\system32 folder. Reconnect backup again and launch Power Broker. |

The errors may be with the system files associated with the printer drivers or within some of the registry entries related to the functioning of the printer. All users having “Printer not activated, error code 41” need to check integrity of the system files on the operating system using ‘sfc/scannow’ command in the CMD. Then repair the operating system with the help of the original Windows installation disc. Additionally, users must also clean the registry of the system using a registry cleaning software.Check printer configuration Incorrect configuration of printer related settings can also cause “Printer not activated, error code 41”. This problem is also known to come up if the selected printer is not set as the default printer to carry out the printing tasks. Users getting “Printer not activated, error code 41” message are suggested to check the printer configuration and also restart the printer spooler service that is running in the background of the system. This can be done using the printers and fax option in the ‘Start’ menu and service can be restarted using the ‘services.msc’ command under ‘Run’.Reinstall drivers Damage or corruption of the printer drivers installed on the system can also cause “Printer not activated, error code 41. Users experiencing this issue need to completely remove the printer drivers installed on the system using the device manager and then reinstall the printer drivers. This removes all the errors and brings back the printer to its normal state of functioning. |
