I am trying to add the attendance module to my install of moodle 1.8.+  I have it installed.  I see Attendance in the Activities Area, nothing in the Blocks Section (for configuration)  and I go to add under the activity for the course and all i get is

No Session exists for this course

no matter how many times I add the attendance session for my course.

Please Help

Error in adding session

So I have been able to make some additional changes to my system but now I get this error when I go to add a single or multiple sessions.  Please advise.  I will give you a little more info, I am not sure if it is because I am running MSSQL Server 2005 or not.

Moodle 1.8.3+ > IIS6 > MSSQL Server 2005 > PHP5

Matt, i am still learning the moodle stuff so any help would be great!  This is vital to our instructors having the ability to take attendance in class.

Greetings, Matthew!
It seems to me that I had this error also when I tried to add a single session, but when I added a week's worth, it worked just fine.

Did you try adding more than one session? We use IIS, Mysql, and XP on our server. I don't know if anyone has tried to use this block/module with MSsql.

I have tried both single and multiple sessions and get the same error message, I am guessing i need to add the tables manually in to the database, but am having trouble with the Key relationship for the Foreign Key, what table does it relate to?  I really need some help on this.

I fixed my problem.  For those Users of MSSQL Server I have something For you!  I recently installed the Attendance Module and was not able to get it to work, so i modified the SQL scripts and was able to create the two scripts necessary for creating my tables in my database and the appropriate relationships as well.  I hope this might be considered for addition in to the next release for those of us that use MSSQL server.  A few things my table prefix is statically assigned as mdl_* for all my tables so you will have to fix that for your mdl instance if your prefix is different.
