crap what happen

REBUILD at this point will only reflect the changes to the kma header that occured when you used ADD. The only way to undo this is to delete the changed kma's and bring in fresh copies of kma's from your other computer and use "Build Database" instead of add.

Not sure why using ADD caused this problem in the first place unless there's some issue with using it when no database exists for it to add to in the first place.

gotrich,
I have a possible reason for both situations. Did you have any KMAs on the C:\ drive to test your install? That, along with the add rebuild would cause this exact issue. What these guys are telling you is to start over.

Do a computer wide search for .KMA and delete all files from all drives. Then delete the database, songs.mdb and its backup backup_songs.mdb. Then copy all the KMA files from your other computer again. These will have the correct header information for the song numbers on your other machine. They were not changed by the rebuild/add process. Then when you open Hoster it will automatically find the song # information stored in the header of the KMA files from youe other machine and match what you have on both machines.

on machine 2 i deleted all databases bu song singer..ALL datbases. I also delted all KMA on machine 2.

From machine 1 i am transfering the KMA to mach 2.

Now when i open hoster on machine 2 do i go to tools / song database then...

i think when using the add button these merges all your kma files, that probably why you're getting all the duplicates

If you deleted the bucket.mdb you will have to copy that one back there. You can do this from machine 1.
