Hi Jeff,

I backed up as normal and have found a problem subsequently opening BD. See attached screenshot.

Hi Jeff,

Subsequent to my original posting I have downloaded BD 3.6.29 again to see if that sorted things out. I had seen on previous posts that where there were database issues this solved the problem. In my case it did not.

Hi Mark,

Somehow I missed your original post from yesterday. Sorry about that.

So, let me see if I have this correct:

1. You did a backup of your database.
2. Now, when you attempt to get back into BD, you receive that error?

In your c:\program files\birder's diary\data\ directory, do you see a database.mdb file? If not, then move a copy of your backup into that directory and name it database.mdb.

Let me know,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Before I read your reply I  just sorted it in the way you suggested.

I had backed up as normal. It appears in some way both my database and backup on my computer had become corrupted. No idea how. I was able to transfer from my second computer, problem solved. Shows the good sense in having more that one back up file.

Hi Jeff,

Yep. I have backed up and copied to second computer seems fine now. Any more problems and I'll let you know.

Regards

Mark
