No
Rebuilding the DB is not an option 5 minutes before a show. It takes 15-20 minutes to rebuild my DB.
But, I know the in and outs of Hoster. All that was needed was to open the SONGS.MDB with ACCESS, highlight the PATH Column, and REPLACE the listed DRIVE LETTER and COLON (ex. D:\) with the new DRIVE LETTER and COLON.
For External Drive, if you would rather, you could make a note of the Drive Letter and open up MANAGE/DISK MANAGEMENT and change the DRIVE letter to match.
Most people know how to REPLACE TEXT better than knowing an Operating System. But, then, many don't have MS ACCESS.
Tis the difference between knowing the limitations of Hoster and its inability to correct a simple DRIVE LETTER disgnation, without having to REBUILD the DB, and researching various ways to effect a DRIVE LETTER change, and not knowing the limitations, in which case, the USER's only answer is to REBUILD the DB.
On all my computers, no Laptops, C:\ is the Operating system with Hoster, D:\ is the KMA drive, and E:\ is the Backup of the KMAs.
If D: fails, I open the Songs.MDB with ACCESS, REPLACE the D:\ with E:\, which takes about 15 seconds, and continue the show.
