Probelms Creating a New Predefined Data Item in DataSocket

[JordanL]

I am doing a simple test using datasocket between two computers.  When I use the "SampleString" predefined data item I can write my string value to the data socket server, which is on the same computer, and read it on a networked computer.  When I create my own new predefined data item it doesn't work.  I get an error saying that I have insufficient priveleges to read, write, or create items in the datasocket server.  I have allowed anyhost to read or write to my new predefined item so I wouldn't think this would be a problem.  Any ideas?

JordanL,

Can you provide a screenshot or desciription of the error you are getting? I found these two documents that sound related.

DataSocket Error: "Not permitted to write data item (80004005)"

DataSocket Error: "Not permitted to create data item (80004005)"

I found the problem.  After creating a new predefined data item I need to close the datasocket server and datasocket server manager and then reopen them for the new data item to take effect.

JordanL,

Glad to hear that! If you could mark your post with the answer as the "solution" that would be great!
