I tried deleting and re-entering the data in the song source folder field, but that did not solve the problem. I tried Right-Clicking on the Hoster icon, and clicking "run as administrator", but that did not solve the problem.
Please help,

You need to "Rebuild" not "Add" which is used if you have duplicate BookIDs.

Thanks for the Information.
This time I Clicked "Rebuild", on the Songs Database Maintenance activity box. First the screen reported that the backup was successful, and then the message is "Sucessfully created 0 entry 'songs.mtb' database in C:\MTU\Hoster\". For some reason, the program still can not link up with the data on the G:\ external hard drive.
Hope you have an answer, or and idea ..

Do you have you KMA files in folders under G:\Karaoke KMA Files\? The Songs database does not look in any folders but the ones listed. So all the individual folders have to be listed.
