No database in 3.108

[dlessnau]

I am trying to import a CDG. When I put in the brand, which is Chartbuster Artist Series, I get no data base to chose the disc ID from. It only shows the CDG's in that brand which I already have imported. This same thing happens no matter what brand I am trying to import.

In the past it would show me all the CDG's in the data base and I would choose the correct one. Then it would read the disc and put in the titles, etc.

How do I get the entire data base to show as before?

I upgraded to 3.110 and rebuilt my database. After rebuilding a pop up told me it was successful and another said I had 11,000 duplicate files???

I do have a database of the 11,000 songs I have imported, but I DO NOT have the database that comes with Hoster.

How do I get that back?

I asked for help yesterday regarding this problem. 25 people looked at my post but no one seems to have the answer. Perhaps MTU can help me please.

I have no data base. It only lists the discs I have already imported in a given brand, not all the discs in the brand so I can pick the one I am importing and then read the CDG.

I had the problem with 3.108 and upgraded to 3.110. Same problem. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

dlessnau,
Go to your C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Databases Directory and make sure that you see the Bucket.mdb. If this file is there, then it should be working. Delete the File anyways. Then Rerun the Hoster Install using Upgrade. Let me know what you find.

I did as you instructed. The bucket.mdb file was there. I deleted it, and ran the install 3.110 again using upgrade. It put the bucket.mdb file back, but I still do not have a database.

One thing I notice is the last modified date for the bucket.mdb file is 3/22/2005 Seems it should be todays date.

Here is the dates of last modified for what is in the database folder:
Bucket.mdb 3/22/2005
Hoster.dat 9/23/2003
Song.mdb 6/29/2005
Songs_backup.mdb 6/29/2005
Songsbac.mdb 3/3/2004
Temp.mdb 1/25/2005

I also note that in the past, when upgrading, the instructions were to delete Hoster and then run the install program. Starting with 3.108 or the one before that, the instructions are to use upgrade, which I did.

I see an option to remove hoster and then install ,but I did not do that, I used the upgrade button.

Could that have anything to do with my problems?

I was one of those who looked but didn't post. I wanted to check my show computer before I made any speculation
Well now I've checked and heres my speculation.
At some point in the past the bucket database got changed so that the Artist Series discs are no longer under that brand (except what was previously imported). They now seem to be listed under brands as "Chartbuster Pro CB90000"

Hope that helps.
