Q1: I am getting a message saying Tapit is reaching Maximum Size.
Solution
Tapit’s Access database has a maximum size of 1 gig (roughly 2 million call records). Once the database nears this maximum size, older call records will have to be exported from the software. To do this:
- From Tapit’s Main Menu, go to Maintenance->Data Maintenance->Call Records Maintenance
- Select Export and Remove Call Records and designate a path and file name in the fields at the bottom
- Click Continue and on the filter screen enter the date range for the calls you wish to remove and click Continue
- Once the calls are exported, close Tapit completely on all machines (it may take several minutes for Tapit to close on the server machine, this is normal due to the size of the database).
- Go to Start->Programs->Tapit->Tapit Repair. Click Yes to the warnings. Once in Tapit Repair, check the box labeled Compact Only and click Repair Database. The Repair may take several minutes.
- Once it is complete you can exit out of Tapit Repair and reopen Tapit. Remove further calls if necessary using these steps.
Q2: Your Registration screen asks for a Computer ID, where do I find this number?
Solution
You can find the computer ID by going
to Start->Programs->Tapit->Register Tapit
on the machine that is connected to your phone
system. Please also confirm that you see the correct
serial number on this screen and not the Demo
serial number XRLY9-0303-003.
Q3: I selected a format under PBX Type and the name changed to a different option. Is this a problem?
Solution
This is normal. Several formats are
listed under multiple names on the list in order
to make it easier for someone to select the appropriate
format. In cases like this, Tapit will shift your
select to the first one in its database that matches
your selection. The format it switches to is the
same as the one you selected.
Q4: I am getting Error 3343 Unrecognized Database Format or a message saying that the database is missing or invalid. What do I do?
Solution
If you are getting this message on your Tapit server (the machine processing your call records), it suggests that your database may be damaged. To correct this you should run Tapit Repair.
- Close Tapit on all machines (you can leave your SMDR Monitor running).
- Go to Start->programs->Tapit->Tapit Repair.
- You will get a warning screen with suggestions on what to do when you have a corrupted database. You may want to attempt these suggestions before processing. If you wish to continue click Yes.
- Assuming Tapit s closed on all machines, click Yes to the next warning.
- Once the Tapit Repair screen comes up, click Repair Database. Let this process run, it may take several minutes.
- Once the Repair is complete, you can exit Tapit Repair and reopen Tapit. Under most circumstances, the error should be corrected and Tapit should open.
Q5: How do I move Tapit to a new machine?
Solution
- Install the Tapit software on the new machine.
- Before running Tapit Setup in the new location, go back to the original copy of Tapit and find the file tapit.ini. This file should be located in the same folder as your Tapit data.
- Copy this file to the same folder in the new Tapit location. Allow it to overwrite the existing copy in the new install. This will transfer your preferences to the new copy of Tapit. Please note that the com port used on the new machine may not match that of the original machine running Tapit so this setting may need to be changed.
- If the new install of Tapit is the same version as the original copy (i.e. you are not doing an upgrade of the software), you may also copy the file tapitdb.mdb from the old location to the new one, allowing it to overwrite the new copy. This will transfer your accumulated call data to the new install. If you do not wish to retain this data or the new install of Tapit is not the same version as the original copy, skip this step.
- Run Tapit Setup (found in Start->Programs->Tapit->Tapit Setup) in the new location.
- Run Tapit in the new location as normal for a few days to sure the new installation is working properly.
- Once you are confident the new installation is running properly, please contact Trisys Technical Support at (973) 360-2300 ext. 3 to deactivate the software at the original location and register it at the new location.
Q6: During Tapit Setup I get the error Active X Component Can’t Create Object
Solution
This error is usually due to the fact that a certain DLL file was in use at the time of the installation. To correct:
- On the Tapit machine, go to Program Files->Common Files->Microsoft Shared->DAO and look for a file called DAO350.DLL. It should be in a folder called DAO.
- Rename this file to DAO350.OLD
- Look for the folder C:\TAPITW32
- Underneath this folder is a sub folder called SETUP. Delete this set up sub folder.
- Reinstall the Tapit software from the CD
After this reinstall you should no longer get the error.
Q7: My scheduled reports give me all calls for today instead of the filters I entered.
Solution
When creating a scheduled report you must save your filter selections as a predefined filter. You do this by entering your filter conditions and clicking the button labeled Predefined (bottom button on the right).

Q10: Can Tapit collect SMDR via an IP connection?
Solution
Tapit works with several phone systems via IP using one a several utilities we created for this purpose. These utilities can be found here (links are located approximately halfway down the page).
Q11: I wish to remove Tapit from my PC. How do I do this?
Solution
- Manually delete the C:\TAPITW32\ folder.
- On the Tapit CD under a folder called TOOLS is a utility called UNLOADTP.EXE. Run this utility by double clicking on it and that will stop automatic start up of the SMDR Monitor. If you do not have the CD you can download this utility from our website from here.
Please note that if the software has already been registered on this machine, we will need to deactivate the software before you remove it. To deactivate, please give us a call at (973). 360-2300 option 3.
Q12: Can Tapit EX be loaded as a service?
Solution
While the actual Tapit software cannot run as a service, the SMDR Monitor32 component can be loaded as a service. To run SMDR Monitor as a service use our SMDR Monitor Service Utility. You can download this utility from http://www.trisys.com/downloads.htm. Please note that none of the IP collection utilities we have available can run as a service.
Q13: I would like to import my Users and/or Clients rather than setting them up manually. Is this possible?
Solution
This can be done using the Tapit Import
Utility. The information needs to be saved in
a comma delimited .csv file (the actual order
of your fields does not matter). The utility and
documentation for it can be found here.
Q14: Why do all my local calls have destinations in New Jersey?
Solution
This is due to their being an incorrect number under Maintenance->System Parameters->Communications. Make sure the phone number under Your Phone Number is accurate.
Q15: How do I filter for a specific phone number?
Solution
On the filter screen for nay report
you will see the word Phone. To the right is a
square button. Click this button. In the window
that appears you will enter the phone number you
are looking for. For an 11 or 10 digit phone number,
you will hit the space bar once and then type
the 10 digit number you are looking for (ignore
the 1 for 11 digit numbers). Click the arrow and
you will see the number appear with a question
mark in front (e.g. ?9733602300). To search for
phone numbers that are 7 digits or less you will
hit the space bar four times and you will see
four question marks (e.g. ????8675309 or ????411).
Click OK and then enter any other filter conditions
that you wish and click Continue.

Q17: Tapit EX is supposed to report Ring time and On Hold time. Why don't my reports show it?
Solution
The data Tapit is able to display
in its reports depends on the SMDR it receives
from your phone system. To confirm if your phone
system provides this information, you will want
to contact whomever supports your phone equipment.
Q18: I get Error 2293 Cannot Open Mail Session when attempting to send a scheduled report to email.
Solution
Tapit EX uses a MAPI interface to
send e-mail. This requires that you have the full
version of Microsoft Outlook installed and running
at the time the report is scheduled to go out.
It will not work with Outlook Express.
Q19: Why does Outlook prompt me when I have a report scheduled to be delivered via e-mail?
Solution
This
is due to security that Microsoft has built into
Outlook. If you have Microsoft Exchange Server,
this link
to the Microsoft Knowledge base will give you
more information. In addition, there are third
party utilities that will click Yes to this warning
automatically that are available. Please note
that Trisys does not support or endorse these
utilities.
Q20: I am getting errors when accessing Tapit Web Reports.
Solution
Many
issues with Tapit Web reports are addressed in
the Readme found here
(PDF file).
Q21: I am setting up a Tapit EX Multi user client and I am getting the error Error 3051, Microsoft database jet engine can not open the file, already open by another user.
Solution
This error is due to permissions on the Tapit EX server machine not being set properly. On the Tapit server underneath the folder TAPITW32 there should be a folder called DATA. This DATA folder should be shared with full permissions. The client machine needs full control of this folder in order for the Multi user Client to work properly.
Q22: I need to reload my software but I have lost my original CD. What do I need to do to get a replacement?
Solution
Send
an email to tech@trisys.com
with Media Replacement as the subject. In the
body of the email include the following: serial
number of the software, contact name and phone
number. A reply will be sent with a download link
for the replacement software. Please note that
only software that is less than three years old
can be replaced.
