SWX 2004 SP1.0, Win2K, Hole Wizard error "Error: The database file '[snip long folder descrip]\swbrowser.mdb' is not the expected version (8.7)"
I tried calling up tech support, but I guess they have the day off. Lucky guys. ;-)
Any ideas here? My Rod really needs a threaded hole in it.
Thanks

I had the same problem and could not resolve it with update browser.
If the update doesn't work you can try what I did. Simply open the database '[snip long folder descrip]\swbrowser.mdb' with Access and look for the table named "version". Open it and change the number (I guess it's 8.6) to
8.7. Close the database and retry your hole wizard.I don't know if this could cause problems in the future versions but so far it works for me...
Hope this helps.

I saw this error only after rolling back from sp1 tp sp0. The only thing that fixed it for me was re-installing sp1.

If you haven't upgraded to SP01 try this work around:
Open a new blank assembly, then use the hole wizard on your part. Don't know why this works, but it does. I had the same problem, my VAR tracked down the solution and got back to me. Apparently, I've got the only good one in the Solidworks world. Hope this helped.
