I talked to tech support and they sent me the followig:
Summary: RB, unable to open convmap with custom report links
Book: Support Solutions
Page: 1229MPS
XA 5.00
Problem: Opening custom report links in Vantage generates error: unable to
open convmap
Resolution: Vantage 5.00 no longer uses the registry to connect to report
builder
1.) Open the report builder.vtg and edit the "other parameters" line it
should look like this, with reference to the proper mapped drive and server:
[Vantage Startup]
Executable=V:\Progress\bin\prorb32.exe
Database=V:\Vantage\db\vantage
IniFile=V:\Vantage\Vantage.ini
ParameterFile=V:\Vantage\db\Vantage.pf
ConnectOptions=-N TCP -H mntech -S epic50
TempDirectory=C:\Vntg50
StartupProcedure=
OtherParameters=
Note: the 'OtherParameters=' line is blanked out
Apparently this causes no problem with the database engine because it uses
the registry so. You will also need to edit the progress\Bin\progress.ini
to reference the mapped drive path instead of the physical drive path. The
startup section should look something like this:
[Startup]
V6Display=no
;ImmediateDisplay=yes
;MultitaskingInterval=100
DefaultFont=MS Sans Serif, size=8
DefaultFixedFont=Courier New, size=8
DLC=V:\progress
Use-3D-Size=Yes
PROBUILD=V:\progress\PROBUILD
PROPATH=.,V:\progress\gui,V:\progress,V:\progress\bin,V:\progress\PROBUILD\E
UCAPP\EUC.PL,V:\progress\PROBUILD\EUCAPP
UseSourceEditor=yes
EditorConfigPath=V:\prowork\proedit
Where V is a mapped drive.
XA 5.00
Now I get the SQL data base shut down error. Im going to try and reinstall
Vantage on my workstation and see what that gets me.

I got that EXACT error this morning on one of our users (V4). This
users has a laptop, and was getting Prowin32 errors several times a day,
so Friday I just removed Progress from his laptop, and set him up on our
Citrix server... but I forgot to remove the Vantage Icon. This morning
he went into Vantage using the old Icon (not thru Citrix) and he
actually got in, but when he tried to run a report he got your error.
I had him go in via the Citrix Icon, and everything works fine!
So, it seems to me it is a problem with your installation of
Progress.... did you un-install the Progress 9.0B first???
