InvalidOperationException - Cannot create file mapping error

[Ben Fidge]

When connecting to one of my Sql Server 2000 databases running locally using
SqlConnection, I get the following error:

InvalidOperationException - Cannot create file mapping

This is thrown during a call to SqlConnection.Open();

After this exception occurs, I can continue to use the connection without
any further (apparent) problems, running multiple queries against it. This
is only happening on one database, and others running on the same machine
are fine.


Anyone come across this before?

Ben

Hi Ben,

I think you might face an issue, which is similar to the described in next

It is not exactly what you have, but looks like some sort of bug. Could you
post your environment?
