lost song database

[bob schroyer]

I am working on a friends laptop. She lost all the songs in her database. The songs are all still on her hard drive but when i try to rebuild the database nothing is added.

She is running 3.321 on a vista machine. Never had any problems before.

Looking for help!

Hey Bob,
Is she getting any kind of error message? Has she added a hard drive or changed the drive letter on the drive that holds her KMA files?

When she rebuils her database, tell here to be sure that the Songs Database Destination Folder is where he KMA files are located.

No error codes. When I try to rebuild or merge it runs thru the files (they are on an external drive) and says no files added. The destination folder is showing C:/MTU/Hooster. The external drive is G and has not changed.

when you say it ran through the file, you meant the progress bar went thru all the songs, when you do a search, do you get an error or no songs found in database?, if it was the later, make sure all the headers are green on the search window except for the mux or duets..

Jim the destination folder for the songs.mdb file is not changable.
Is the count that the rebuild starts out with correct?
Billy is probably right in that the problem is in the search and not the database.
