Issue

When using SQL databases in On-Screen Takeoff, when you try to update import an Electrical Bid Manager™ (EBM) project, you receive this error:

"Please select a sql server database in ost to export to"

Resolution

According to EBM's developers, you must have the Projects (fka “Bids”) Tab selected in On-Screen Takeoff, with the Project you are trying to update highlighted, before exporting data from EBM.

All questions regarding the interaction between EBM and OST are handled by EBM's Technical Support, visit https://www.visioninfosoft.com/electrical-estimating-software/ for more information.
