This is what I have found so far about the Calls Online problem. I am also
affected by it and am working on a solution. During debug I have captured
a screen and the following was reported (x-15 -o -R18)

Allocating Statement....

SQL Statement: UPDATE CallsOnline Set UserName='user', AcctStatusType=2,
CallDate=Now() WHERE NASIdentifier='[nas identifier here]' and NASPort=1

ODBC: SQLExecDirect Error:
[Microsft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.

bla, bla, bla....... ect.

Based on the SQL statement it is looking for a TABLE (not a query) by the
name of "CallsOnline" with fieldnames of UserName, AcctStatusType,
CallDate, NASIdentifier, and NASPort. You must have your "nas identifier"
in the NASIdentifier field with the corresponding port in the NASPort
field, (this is for the compare part or WHERE in the statement).

There was no such table in my download of RADNT_60 so I built the table.
But it doesn't help due to the SQLExecDirect Error. I still recieve this
error. I checked the Dr. Watson dump file and did not find any more clues
to the problem. I could be wrong but my guess is that within radius an SQL
statement is not conforming to the Microsoft non-standard rules. This
would also be one possible explanation why some have good results using SQL
Server as apposed to Access 97.

just my 2 cents worth.

Has anyone else found out more about this error?

I am now working on a VB module triger that will watch for an add record to
the Calls table and make the appropriate update to the CallsOnline table.
This will allow for a temp solution and you won't need option 2 checked for
it to work. I will make this publicly available and it will go in the
module part of the database untill Dale finds another solution, or if he
finds out that we are all out of our minds. B-)

I do want to thank Dale for an extreemly good product.

I am going to be working on a VB front end that when finished I will place
on my site for downloading.
