Rebuild Database

[Beavis]

why does hoster keep rebuilding my data base on start up ??

[Roy Dennis]

Do you mean the Initializing Book Ids message when you start ?

That is just building the book id list in the Add Singers & Songs section. It was put in to show progress as users thought Hoster had locked up when nothing showed.
If you click on the Book Id button and change it to Brand then it will flash by quickly hardly noticeable the next time you start but if you use the Book id in the Add singers and songs section then it will build the list as soon as you change Brand back to Book Id.
If you don't use Book ids leave it set to Brand.

When I start the program, it searches for new songs the rebuilds the database. 12k+ songs

I don't know if it is anything to do with your version of Hoster 5.010 with your version of Windows.

It shouldn't be doing that.

How long has it been like this ?
Has it only been since using Windows 8.1 ?

here is the screen shot roy.

it does it every time i start hoster

im using hoster 5.10

It usually does that if it can't find the songs.mdb in your Hoster data folder.
When you see this happen do you just cancel it or let it complete ?
If you always cancel that may be the problem.

If you open the rebuild database dialog What is the folder path showing for the database ? it should be C:\ProgramData\mtu.com\Hoster\songs.mdb
As shown in my attachment.
If that is correct go to that folder and check that the songs.mdb is in there.

Also does the left hand window list all your folders ? again as shown in my attachment.
