Unable to create the command file.

  • Article

Visual Database Tools was unable to create the command file. There are many possible reasons for this error. You can try any of the following remedial actions:

  • Make sure there is sufficient disk space to write the new file. Consider using the Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter options on the System Tools menu.
  • Make sure the directory path where the file should be written still exists. It might be helpful to use a path that you know works for an existing file. You can view how paths for similar files are constructed by right-clicking other script files in Solution Explorer and choosing Properties on the shortcut menu.
  • Create the command file again.
  • Check the Microsoft Knowledge Base for any available new information on command file errors with the Visual Database Tools. See the Microsoft Support Knowledge Base.
