I am trying to put together a small control panel for my son to use on his train table and I would like to setup some momentary switches that playback some audio clips. One idea was to use something...

How would I connect the following relay to my ELK so I can control my pool pump. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I had this setup before using a 30Vdc power supply that was connected to a X10 unit but I would like to eliminate X10 from this setup.

I'll take a picture of cable when I go home.

No enrollment you just tell the M1 about the X10 items you have .... lights , appliances and so on in the RP software. The TM751 converts the X10RF to the powerline so you will still need unless you go with a something like a http://www.wgldesigns.com/w800.html. I suggest looking for one...

I did a fresh install of Win Xp and now ElkRP is working for me.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried both new installs and copy my old install from acronis image I have and I get same error. I am installing this on XP 32 bit system. The database file is going into the Documents and Settings\All Users\Data\RP folder but I still can't get it to open.

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas at all this is getting pretty frustrating. Hate dragging another computer over just to make a few changes in to the ELK.

Nobody knows of a fix for this? I think it has to do with permissions on the computer. I tried opening the database with MS Access on the computer and I get message about user account doesn't have the permissions to access this. The account I am using is an administrator account so not sure what...

Was there every a solution to this error? I am having the same problem.
