As I am currently switching to Elevate DB from DBISAM I have run into this error. "ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the table".

I did set my sessions to the same name other than DEFAULT and am not able to connect.  For some reason my other administrator account and password that are created will not work outside the DB Manager utility. I tried to re-install and am using all the latest updates on a on a XP Pro machine with D7 as well as Delphi XE install.

Not sure where to start to correct this.

It seems to be following a first-time install of my app using EDB 2.05
11(UNICODE) onto XP sp3 English.

Even if it turns out to be an upgrade rather than initial install, I
can't see how I can get that error as I have never used the (ANSI)
version of EDB and it can't possibly be from a 3-year old version based
on DBISAM (or could the user have edited an old DBISAM table file's
extension!).

Need I say that no other users have reported this problem!

Until I get more info, is there any known cause of such an error other
than the passage of some stray neutrino through the user's computer -
or the user managing to hack my files?

Just to say that I eventually got a fresh contact from the site (girls'
school in South Africa) to say she knew nothing about any bug reports,
etc, and that the software was running fine!

Maybe it was 'little fingers' as in St Trinians!

Per email: need the additional portion of the error message at the end.
