Build Song Database Locks up Laptop

[gd123]

You can build your SONGS DB on A N Y Computer that works and has Hoster Installed.

If it makes it through the Rebuild, transfer the Songs.MDB to your Laptop.

This will help in determining if you have a problem with your Laptop or your KMAs.

Another thing. If you haven't already done so, and, because you mentioned that you have tried deleting the Songs.MDB, you will notice that, upon running Hoster for the 1st time after deleting the Songs.MDB, Hoster will try to REBUILD the DB on its own. Once the Process starts, CANCEL the REBUILD PROCESS and let Hoster OPEN. Then, do the REBUILD from within Hoster. See if that makes a difference.

If you use Printed Songlists where the BOOKID is listed as the SOLE REFERENCE for you Singers to find a SONG. I, definitely, would NOT have Hoster renumber my BookIDs. This will render your Songlists useless.

If you have the resources, Backup ALL your KMAs, then try the renumber thing. May take several Days to figure out if all your KMAs work/same BOOKID. And, if not what you expected, you have the UNCHANGED Backups.
