yes, this really is an old version 1.0.0.3 (March 23, 2014)
A solution has been described here: https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/5249

Sure, how can I execute this script to add table to the database?
From application itself or I need other tool?

I use for this: https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/
.
An alternative would be to send the .mmb to mmex-reg@bluewin.ch and I will do it for you.
Of course I guarantee absolute confidentiality of the data.

Were there any other error messages?
Which operating system version / MMEX version are you using?

Did you try the other solution from the GitHub link? Opening first in 1.5.21, then opening in 1.7.0 (or whatever later version you are working with)?

I would suggest that you open a new accounting system (database) with MMEX 1.7.0 as of 1.1.2024.
I would close the current year on the installed MMEX version 1.0.0.3.
By the way: Microsoft will also no longer offer you support on Windows 7.

Reset make sense, I was also considering it, however, with a fresh new database, another error pop out when refreshing Rates, screen attached.

Now I am wondering is recent MMEX unstable or something wrong with my OS. The reset will cost me some data entry effort, recreation of accounts, recurring transactions, categories etc and I want to avoid rollback to the older version which is working for me perfectly in the last 10 years (except Rates refreshing discontinued).

May 32-bit version be more stable for me any idea?

MMEX 1.6.4 as well as 1.7.0 64 bit version are stable.
There are no reports in the forum about problems with a very old Windows 7.
I hardly believe that we have the possibility to reproduce an error on Windows 7.

Am I right in assuming that this error message listed below occurs with MMEX 1.7.0 and a new database?
Have you already entered accounts and bookings in this new database?

I repeat my offer:

When saying unstable I meant my particular instance.

Yes, freshly created database with 1.6.0 where I have some accounts (Cash, Credit) and one transaction only, the database attached, the app is broken when refreshing Rates.

I did as you requested table creation with SQL Lite tool and upgraded to 1.6.0 successfully, which ends up with the error when I am just selecting an account on the left pane. Do you think sharing .mmb with you may change something here?

I have opened your file with my 1.7.1 Beta1, it has been updated to the latest DB19 and is working fine.
Performed all possible tests, updated currencies and also entered bookings.
I could not find any problems, everything worked properly.

Would recommend you to delete the file mmexini.db3.
with Everything https://www.voidtools.com/ you can find this file.
Then uninstall MMEX, download the latest MMEX 1.7.0 from https://moneymanagerex.org/docs/downloads/latest/ and install it.

By the way: I am happy to provide support, but on the basis of current MMEX versions.

Yahoo changed their finance API since 1.6.0 was released. You will not be able to fetch rates in that version, it only works on 1.6.4 and 1.7.0.
