LiveCycle Form Designer quits on opening a dynamic form


A weird solution to a weird problem. My LiveCycle Designer was working fine and then all of a sudden, it started quitting the moment a dynamic form was opened. The error message was standard application crash one saying



"Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."



 Googling led to the Adobe forums and there found this solution - Delete the folder "Designer" residing in your User folder "Appplication Data\Adobe". Usually that should be "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe". Just delete the folder names "Designer" and when you start the LiveCycle Designer, it will be created again and this time there should be no problem opening a form. Apparently this may also be caused if you have SQL 2008 installed on your system. If thats is the problem in your case, follw this link
