Error loading versions

KarenWitsell — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 22:43:06 GMT

Greetings,

I have just upgraded to 10.1 and orginally I had editing rights to the an SDE connection (which has not been upgraded) but now when I select the version manager, nothing happens. ? Also, when i select the change version I get the following error: "Error loading versions. [An item with the same key has already been added.]

Are these errors the result of an incompatability between 10.1 and 10.0 with regards to database connections? Is there some other reason that would cause this?

Karen

can you please clarify ......what is your ArcGIS Desktop version you are using and what is the version of your geodatabase ?

Remark: if you are using ArcGIS 10.1 Desktop create a fresh new connection (don't use the previously stored 10.0 connection).

I was upgraded from 10.0 to 10.1.

The error message that I was having, was related to a need for a service pack. Specifically, I have a (.) in my user name. This may have been the cause of the error.

Here is what I found on the following site: http://support.esri.com/en/content/known-issues#version101
