Hi,
Newest EPIM, pro biz etc.
Win 10.
I moved the EPIM from Win 8.1:
installed,
copied .ini
This is what I got in three DBs while trying to connect to server:
_
_
Any ideas how to fix it?
Currently, I use SYSDBA and masterkey, but how to remove this thing?
Apart of it, all works. (Well, that's not precise as there are many other bugs, but at least i can connect to DB).
Cheers,
Piotr

Reinstalling Firebird doesn't help.

Remove the records under the [Logins] section in EPIM.ini file.
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!

Re: Bug: after moving to new PC very odd users' names
Yes, I did this morning and wanted to share that.
It is about [Logins] section in epim.ini file.
Something strange with encoding characters happens when this file is transferred between two PCs (I remember years ago I had that problem too).
So, basically, on clean EPIM install we get in Logins:
0=12
The same we need to do on copied epim.ini file,
(or as admin said, to remove all logins).
Then I connect via server, using SYSDBA and masterkey, NO PROBLEM with odd names, they are gone.
So I believe it is transferring logins names from one PC to another which makes this [Logins] part unreadable on the new machine.
Finally, no need to reinstall neither EPIM nor Fbird, just to clean that part in epim.ini.
As admin said, remove all,
or,
as I did, remove everything except 0 login, and give that login value
0=12
And save the file.
