These errors are all associated with network connection issues. Make sure a consistent network connection has been established.

1.) Try to reboot the station and/or server then launch Essential Forms.

2.) Try to pack and reindex, plus database cleanup:

You can run a series of database cleanup utilities with everyone out of Essential Forms and see if that sorts the jumbled data. Sometimes it does, most of the time, however the corrupted data would have to be fixed manually or if it’s severe throughout I usually have to pull a backup and perform the restoring backup instructions below.

With everyone out of the program click Configure>Preferences>Database Tab, in that window check the first 3 boxes in that window “Pack/Reindex Databases On Next Launch” click “OK”. Close the program and reopen once in that mode.

Next, go back into Configure>Preferences>Database Tab, in that window UNcheck those 2 boxes in that window “Pack/Reindex Databases On Next Launch”, leave the first box checked that is a default setting. Still in that Database window, check the box “Database cleanup on program launch” click “Ok”. Now close and reopen the program.

Again go back into Eforms and UNcheck that box, “Database cleanup on program launch” click “Ok”. Now, see if those forms data is still jumbled or blank.

3.) Other Network Considerations:

-Server hardware doesn't have the capacity to handle network traffic.

-Actual network hardware such as switches, cables or router are old or cannot handle the load of a large data set being accessed by multiple users.

-Make sure the station is hard-wired not using a wi-fi connection.

-Installed anti-virus sometimes will monitor program activity. Make exclusions for the Essential Forms program and data folders.

-Make sure windows syncing or offline files is turned off or disabled.

-Disable sleep or hibernation mode.

-Make sure all users have full permissions (read, write and modify) on the Essential Forms Data folder.

-Check and see if other stations are getting the error.
