singers list dissapeared on upgrage

I need a bit of help .i just last night upgraded to the latest hoster 5.4.10 i think it is called. i was not too concerned and when i loaded it i did not actualy open hoster tilli was at my show. well it very much surprised me by insisting on rebuilding my database i was freaked out by this as i just made all new books and i thought that it would change all my book numbers and thus cost me a bunch of money to get new ones made. the good news is it did not change my numbers, the bad news is that all my signers databases are now empty and some of my singers were very very upset. is there anyway i can get the database back to where it was? i am using xp on a toshiba satilite laptop with the latest video hoster software. thanks in advance

Re: singers list dissapeared on upgrage

Can't believe you would upgrade and not open it till your show

Anyway, go to C/MTU/Hoster folder find your singers.mdb file and delete it. Now rename the singers_backup.mdb to singers.mdb and that should fix it. You could just make a copy of singers_backup.mdb before renaming it and paste it temporary on your desktop, then if all goes well re-paste it back in the Hoster folder as a future backup.

Re: singers list dissapeared on upgrage

Have you not got a copy on another computer that you could paste in.

Alternately could try restoring your computer to an earlier time before you upgraded, see if that recovers the files, then make a backup copy and store in a safe place before upgrading it again and let the rebuild complete as it should without stopping it.

If that doesn't work it is reversible.

But not if you have another show right away
