Hi TE-Gregg,
It sounds like TestStand is having some sort of problem accessing the file for that automation server. Here's a couple things to try:
Navigate to Start > National Instruments > TestStand 3.x > TestStand Version Selector. Select the version of TestStand you are trying to use (even if it is the only option) and click Make Active.
If this doesn't fix the problem, we'll have to delve a bit more into the SequentialModel to figure out the problem.
Open the Sequential Model. If the Sequential Model is the current model, just double click on the path in the lower right hand corner of the sequence editor. Otherwise, you can find it at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.x\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\SequentialModel.seq.
Once this is open, select the Get Database Options sequence from the View drop down selector.The first step in this sequence seems to be where the problem is originating. Right click on Read Database Option - Construct and select Specify Module from the shortcut menu. This will open the Edit dialog box. Check to make sure the object reference is set to Locals.TsDatabaseOptions.
Next to the Automation Server selection, click the open folder and browse to
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\Database\DBOptions\TSDBOptions.dll
Make sure that Create Object is checked, the Call Method is Contstruct, and you are passing the Engine to it.
