When connecting to SAP from ERP² you may see a "connecting" status box which does not disappear after the connection is made with SAP.
If a "connecting" status bar appears and does not go away during connection with SAP, check the status of the connection on the ‘status’ bar at the bottom of the application. If it says "connected" with the SAP username and various other details, then you may proceed and start working with ERP². Simply ignore the "connecting" status box in the background. The "connecting" status box may appear for specific versions of the SAP GUI.
