Thank you, Renato, for the "defective" mmexini.db3 file. Using this, I am sure I can fix this problem.

I have the same problem. I cannot open my database on my laptop (windows 8.1). This started after upgrading to version 1.3.5 . But when I take the same database on a USB to my office desktop (windows 7), on which I have installed money manager same version 1.3.5; it opens with no problem. I am able to make changes and save them. When I bring the new database back to my laptop, it does not open. I get a message saying that the database is already opened with an other session of money manager. Strange!!!

probably the solution is a bit further down:
This solution was to delete C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MoneyManagerEx\mmexini.db3

I too now cannot open any database in 1.3.5 just like detailed in the thread. I have tried to find the pathway listed by Renato but cannot. If anyone can help me get it to open again I will be grateful otherwise I shall have to look for another program that will work. I too have no other program that I have tried to open the files with so why it keeps saying it is open in another program beats me.
Cheers Edward

How about pass your database file to MMEX developer to have a deeper look? also it would be appreciated to have some snapshots to illustrate your issues

Hi all, I have had a problem similar to Strongbow. Sometimes I got a page of a reoccurring transaction even though the data base would not open. I restarted my computer but when the screen went blank the computer hung and would not finish the restart. I had to power off the computer and power it on again to complete the restart. As suggested I down loaded the trial version of REVO Uninstaller Pro and uninstalled the Money Manager EX file, deleted all the files that it said needed deleting and did the suggested restart. All is now well and everything works, fingers crossed.

After the mmex started the ico should be in the tray.
Press and hold the shift button and right mouse click.
Choose Maximize in the context menu.

Further to my post on Dec 07. Had the same problem again. I am convinced that it happened when I did a manual restart to complete a windows 10 update. Before the restart I closed all open programmes except for MMEX which I forgot to close. After the restart completed the original problem reoccurred. Each time I tried to open a database nothing happened except for the first time that I tried when I got the message saying another instant of MMEX was open, when actually it was not. Again I used Revo uninstaller pro to uninstall and then reinstalled MMEX. All is working ok now.
Perhaps it is time for the developers to take a closer look at this problem.
