Help! DBISAM #8961
« on: October 28, 2012, 04:08:42 PM »
Note: This post only applies to the Legacy database!

I can't get logged in- this error message #8961 appears and then it takes me to do the Database Utilities Repair and the error box shows up to continue/restart application and the system shuts down. 

Help please!

That error indicates file corruption. If you're running the database directly from a USB flash drive, it is most likely because the USB drive was removed without first exiting AWdb and then using the correct technique in Windows to shut down the device.

Did you try running the Repair utility?  From the login screen, click the Utilities button and then select the option to run the REPAIR utility immediately after logging in. 

If this does not fix the problem, you may need to restore your last backup. (I do hope you have been running the built-in backup utility each week after you have completed your data-entry after club night.)
