I've tried it in both ArcMap and ArcCatalog and nothing happens when you double click 'Add Database Connection'. I've tried to search on possible issues but have found nothing. Has anyone else run into this? What could be causing this?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 12:59:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823983#M3876 HeatherScroggins 2019-04-08T12:59:36Z Re: 'Add Database Connection' not working https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823984#M3877 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you getting this dialog box to show up when you double-click Add Database Connection in ArcCatalog?</P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/441443_pastedImage_1.png" /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:19:27 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823984#M3877 MichaelVolz 2019-04-08T14:19:27Z Re: 'Add Database Connection' not working https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823985#M3878 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No, I get nothing at all when I double click 'Add Database Connection'.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:22:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823985#M3878 HeatherScroggins 2019-04-08T14:22:07Z Re: 'Add Database Connection' not working https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823986#M3879 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Maybe try to recreate your Normal.mxt and <SPAN>Normal.gxt to see if that solves the issue.</SPAN></P><P></P><P>Are there any other features of ArcMap/ArcCatalog 10.5.1 that are not working for you?</P><P></P><P>If so, you might want to try a repair.</P><P></P><P>If that does not work maybe a re-install.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:26:43 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823986#M3879 MichaelVolz 2019-04-08T14:26:43Z Re: 'Add Database Connection' not working https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823987#M3880 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Heather,</P><P></P><P>Are you able to successfully execute the <A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/tools/data-management-toolbox/create-database-connection.htm">Create Database Connection</A> tool in Toolbox?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:40:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823987#M3880 JakeSkinner 2019-04-08T14:40:19Z Re: 'Add Database Connection' not working https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/add-database-connection-not-working/m-p/823988#M3881 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I did a repair and everything seems to be working like it should.
