What happened to Tech Support

Yes, they identify themselves as Vantage tech support, but they are old
Vista tech support people.

Are you calling the Vantage number? (800-269-3044) I've never had
someone identify themselves as Vista support.

Also, do you get the email after a case is closed asking you to log your
experience at their web site? Blast'em there. They must care about the
stats because they report them at Perspectives.

If you don't get the followup email you can track the call on-line using
the call number and send an inquiry to them to get back to you on the
issue. I wouldn't be patient enough to wait a couple weeks. Maybe 4
hours tops.

Boy do I understand your frustration!!! I get almost NO help from tech
support anymore! All I get is Vista tech people who have to constantly
put me on hold after every question. Most of the time they will say
"let me do some more research and get back to you" . and they RARELY do!
I now make it a practice to write down the name of the person, and the
case number because on several occasions I called back after a few weeks
to check the status of a bug, only to find that they have no record of
me calling it in!

I am sorry but, What the hell happened to tech support? Who are
these people answering the lines?
Can anyone help me with my system. We are running 5.0.345 and
suddenly, performance has degraded, ODBC is giving me total grief. I
have changed nothing on the system. Users attempt to open Vantage
and nothing happens. Users attempt to use access to connect via ODBC
to vantage and interrogate data and there are a multitude of errors
that occur. Am I out of licenses, is the database corrupted? IF I
kick everyone out and one user logs on, things are just fine. I
don't know where to look anymore. I have looked at everything
obvious. This is not a very large database. Any ideas????

I'm sure you have restarted the server. If not that usually clears our login
problems up. We don't use ODBC. If your splash screen hangs and you never
get a login screen check to make sure you don't have more than one progress
process running on the client. You might also try reseting the switch or
hub the server is connected to.

In an earlier email you mentioned you have been getting hits of the Swen.mm
virus, one of them might have gotten through. I would look here,
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@...
And run the removal tool to be sure that is not your problem.
It may not be, but is worth the trouble if you have not changed anything
else.

My 2 cents.

Have you tried looking at the event log on the server? Look at the
system and application log. These should reflect system resource issues
as well as ODBC connection problems. This is not the solution, but
should point you in the right direction.

Also try pinging the server from some clients as well as from itself.

Is the problem with all clients or some?

Have you run a virus scan?

I'm sure you have restarted the server. If not that usually clears our
login
problems up. We don't use ODBC. If your splash screen hangs and you
never
get a login screen check to make sure you don't have more than one
progress
process running on the client. You might also try reseting the switch
or
hub the server is connected to.

I am sorry but, What the hell happened to tech support? Who are
these people answering the lines?
Can anyone help me with my system. We are running 5.0.345 and
suddenly, performance has degraded, ODBC is giving me total grief. I
have changed nothing on the system. Users attempt to open Vantage
and nothing happens. Users attempt to use access to connect via ODBC
to vantage and interrogate data and there are a multitude of errors
that occur. Am I out of licenses, is the database corrupted? IF I
kick everyone out and one user logs on, things are just fine. I
don't know where to look anymore. I have looked at everything
obvious. This is not a very large database. Any ideas????

Boy do I understand your frustration!!! I get almost NO help from tech
support anymore! All I get is Vista tech people who have to constantly
put me on hold after every question. Most of the time they will say
"let me do some more research and get back to you" . and they RARELY do!
I now make it a practice to write down the name of the person, and the
case number because on several occasions I called back after a few weeks
to check the status of a bug, only to find that they have no record of
me calling it in!

Are you calling the Vantage number? (800-269-3044) I've never had someone identify themselves as Vista support.

Also, do you get the email after a case is closed asking you to log your experience at their web site? Blast'em there. They must care about the stats because they report them at Perspectives.

If you don't get the followup email you can track the call on-line using the call number and send an inquiry to them to get back to you on the issue. I wouldn't be patient enough to wait a couple weeks. Maybe 4 hours tops.
