Re: I can't connect to old database
Hello everyone,
I've met the same issue as Phototaker several months ago.
Since the update to Money Manager EX - Version : 1.3.3 (DB v.7) I'm not able to open my file where I manage my daily expenses.
Whenever I try to open this database a pop-up is showing :
At opening of the database
- Incorrect password
or
- tentative to open a file which is not database
I've never set a password to this protect this file. This is the same file that I used to edit on Money Manager for so long. It became very annoying.
Note : My OS is windows 10 64bits. I tried to open it using another windows10 laptop and on my android smartphone, same issue.
Could someone help solving this issue ? Or at least help me extracting the content of the attached file so that I can restart from scratch ?
Best regards,
Baower

Re: I can't connect to old database
Do you have a file backup from before upgrading 1.3.3?Baower wrote:This is the same file
MMEX normally keep a backup of files each time it exits in the same directory as the DB file
Yours should look like Comptes Ana.mmb_update_<date>.mmb

claytonpereira20: Unfortunately it looks like your database is corrupted.
How can you recover the data?
Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done about the corrupted file itself. But Money Manager Ex saves backup copies in the same folder. Look for the file with the most recent date and try opening that.
What caused the corruption?
Several possible causes of a corrupt database

Several possible causes of a corrupt database
- Money Manager Ex crashes while saving data. If this is the case, take a note of the exact steps that led up to the crash. Better yet, see if you can find a series of steps that reproduces the crash and report the bug so it can be fixed.
- The disk lost power or got unplugged while Money Manager Ex was saving data.
- The hard disk itself is failing

Re: I can't connect to old database
a little more information would be helpful
for example: operating system, MMEX version, and so on
