771: The object must have its connection set before it can be used.

Summary

When attempting to access a repository object, you may receive the following error:

The object must have its connection set before it can be used. [771]

Causes

  • The amount of client connections may have reached it limit.
  • The Laserfiche server registration may be corrupted.
  • The Laserfiche server may not support connections from the client bases on its version.

Resolutions

  • Increase the maximum amount of allowed connections by editing the HKCU\Software\Laserfiche\LFSO\Version\MaxConnections registry value, where Version is the Laserfiche version number. After editing the value, restart the client.
  • Open the Administration Console on the Laserfiche server, unregister the repository, then register it.
  • Ensure compatibility between client and server. For example, connections from Laserfiche 10.4 clients are not supported when using Laserfiche Server 11.
