"Error occurred when activating Sage 300 ERP Data Source" for AP only

I just installed Sage 300 ERP 2012 on a new Windows 7 workstation, with Windows Local Admin rights.  AR and AP modules were installed.  Everything works fine except AP Invoice Batch List and AP Invoice Entry and I receive the error message in the subject line. 

The software is installed locally and the data is on the network.  Our database is SQL.

I had tried 2 other new workstations,

one XP, which I could not get running (not concerned with this one anymore)

one  Windows 7 workstation, which finally worked after 2 or 3 reinstalls........AP was the issue on this as well, but cannot remember the error message.

Thanks in advance
