Jaffir,
 
The error could be occurring because you are using an unsupported database like Access, but I suspect that you are using SQL Server or SQL Server Express.  If you are using SQL Server or SQL server Express, the problem is caused by the fact that the database is not properly attached.  It is attached sufficiently so that you can connect to it, but DevForce is not able to read the metadata.  If you can find a DBA who can help you disgnose the database problem that would be ideal.  Otherwise, locate the MDF and LDF files for the Tutorial Database and try manually attaching the database.  The problem could also be caused by a corrupted MDAC.
 
I don't know what caused your uninstallation problem.  Error 1628 is a general InstallShield error that usually occurs after another error.  See the Installation guide on how to cure your problem.
 

Microsoft provides a tool, the “Windows Installer Cleanup Utility” that will uninstall just about anything:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;290301&spid=2525&sid=251

Microsoft often shuffles their site so if this link fails, search the web for it under “Windows Installer Cleanup Utility”.

We have had good luck with it. Of course it leaves material behind.

After running this tool, if you are trying to clear your machine of DevForce altogether, you might try installing a fresh copy of DevForce and then un-installing it immediately afterwards; this should pick up most if not all of the detritus from earlier installs.

My question is two fold, just to save time and have to wait for responses.
 
1.  Object mapper seems not to be able to read the tables after specifying the connect string.  This is even after i run a connection test in the dialog box that shows up.  Why?  is it a permissions thing?
 
2.  If it is a permissions thing, why?  this is so frustrating.
 
I tried to uninstall DevForce and i got an error 1628 with no explanation....
 
Any help?
