PC Adm: Err Msg: Notice 63 Error Creating Group in PO Address (112886)

RESOLUTION

To resolve, either ensure you have adequate rights to the database (in particular the GROUP.GLB file) or check for corruption by subtracting 4 from the GROUP.GLB file size and then dividing by 51. The final figure should be a whole number.

If corruption exists, either restore from a backup or, if a backup is not available, reset the PO groups to the same state as per a brand new installation (for example, No Groups defined):

Delete all files in the MEM subdirectory (if any exist). Install a dummy PO and copy the GROUP.GLB file (4 bytes) and ADMIN.GRP (8 bytes, also copy this to ADMINSHD.GRP). This will return the PO to the same state as per a new installation as far as groups are concerned.

NOTE: The resetting of group files can be automated. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: You can also use debug to reset the GROUP.GLB file and ADMIN.GRP files using debug. Copy ADMIN.GRP to ADMINSHD.GRP.
