lost song database

The count when the rebuild begins is correct. It runs thru all the songs on the hard drive but when its done it has not added any songs. There are no songs in the data base now. The songs are on the HD and the rebuild runs thru them but does not add them. I did some updates on her comp before this problem started and have since done a system restore back to before all the updates were done. Still have the same problem.

Did you check the Search to make sure the Mux and Duet are turned off?
Try setting it so only the Artist is green and then enter a part of a known artist name to search.
I don't think there is any thing wrong with the database, but that it is the search settings.

did you try searching for songs, have you looked at the search window if the headers are green..the song database will not add anything if you didnt ( import )add any files...like i said opened up your search window, make sure all the headers are green except for the duet & mux...

The search headers are correct. The problem is there are no songs in my data base to search. When I try to rebuild or merge the data base nothing is added even though there are files on the HD. There are currently zero songs showing in the Hooster program.

Bob do you have Access? If so open the Songs.mdb database and check the Songs table to see if it is empty.
Try using the Edit Songs tool and see if it also shows no songs when you search.
