I need help with the error
** Database has the wrong version number (db: 4246, pro: 4280). (44)
pls see knowledgebase art. 000019806 what causes error 44 when accessing an openedge db..

I reviewed the article, I have multiple backups
I updated to Progress OE 12.2 Win 64

(note: It has been a couple years since I have been working with Progress OpenEdge
so I am not quite sure which version the db's are,

tried to truncate but i get that error as well as connecting

proutil does not find conv910 conv1011 conv1012 (could not recognize -C conv910 - 348)

i have some test projects I would like to get back into, thanks for your help

4246 is version 10, 4280 is version 12. So you need to conv1011 using the executables in $DLC/bin/117dbutils before converting to oe12

Thank you Tom.
It was strange, I supply the DB name and path to the 117_dbutil.exe and it can't find the db error at the full path I gave for the db.
I found a .df and .d files in one of my backups, but it is a year older.. so not sure if all the data is there. But I have a copy of the old database
now the non of the code wants to compile, maybe I have to start from scratch.

It would be helpful if you provided some details, e.g. a directory listing of your backup file location, the command lines you are typing and the DLC version you are using to do so, the resulting messages/errors, etc.
