Sap gui input history not working on windows 7 (sp1) professional. Installed gui version is 7.30.Initially it was working and suddently its not working.I have gone through the notes provided by sap ,but still not woking. Appreciate your advice to resolve the issue.

Checked using Component Checker tool:  Message "UNKNOW" MDAC servsion.

One of sap notes , says to execute History.exe  to check db connectivity . History.exe output shows DB error , valid jet engine found..

not created Temp DB  in C:\ as per the note.

Missmatch column shows expected version 2.82xxxx. for mda*.dll

Try this.

1. enabling history:

  - go to SAP login

  - customize local layout (Alt+F12) [the colored screen icon]

  - options

  - local data

  - history

  - change history status to OFF > apply then again ON > apply

2. Clear History

  - in the same location where you are just click "Clear History" button

3. Delete old History data:

  - in the same location also, go to the input history path and copy it

  - go the browser and paste the path

  - you will find an MDB file usually named "SAPHistoryXXXXX"

  - delete this file

  - close all open windows including SAP GUI

  - run SAP and login, problem should be resolved

Hi mathew

In Sap logon pad system properties - check the network speed settings if the setting is set to 'low speed' you may not get the input history, kindly refer the attachment screen short

Thanks

As far as I know,MDAC is part of the Windows 7 OS,so the only way to repair it would be

to remove and reinstall it again.

Starting with patch 5 of 7.30 GUI,the history will be taken from the jet database and the ACES one

will be used instead.

Hopefully,this will improve things a bit.
