I'm working off my hard drive. Specify the results folder as a subfolder of the working directory. Run mesh and analysis. Go to view the results and get "database not found" message. Get the same message when viewing the mesh. Seems to be random. I can rerun the study with no changes and get results. I've had this problem before before with other models so it's not just this model. I'm using SWx64 2007 sp2.1 CW sp2.0
Any help would be appreciated

That error happens to me if the folder permissions are limited. Or if the results folder set in options is set to the solidworks installation folder. I change that setting to the other one...something like use active model folder. Try running with the desk top as the results folder.

  I was using a sub-folder of the working folder. It was in C:\documents and settings\username\my documents\projects.
  
  I created a projects folder C:\projects and made sure the permissions where set.
  It seemed to help. The problem is I store them on our network when finished where they reside permently. We all have read/write permissions but still get the same error. So if another engineer wants to open the model and view results, he has to copy down to his hard drive. Its just a pain in the ass and time consuming.

    pdmworks is a lot better than storing them that way. Pdmworks treats cwr files as legitimate references if you set the pdmworks client options up to do so. Then your coleagues can check cwr files out from their locations nested withing the assembly heirarchy.

    I've seen this once before. Please submit it as an SPR thru your reseller so our development group can try to track it down.
    
    Thanks!
