MMEX database upgrade to version 3 Failed!

Post by JLRH227 »

Hi,

I have been using MMEX on my desktop and laptops for years now. I have the database stored on DropBox and am usually able to access from the different devices without an issue. Recently, I purchased a new Macbook Air and installed the latest version of MMEX, which is the same version I am running on my iMac (I double checked). When I tried to open the database I was using minutes earlier on the iMac, I received this message on the Macbook Air:

MMEX database upgrade
MMEXdatabase upgrade to version 3 failed!
Please restore DB from autocreated pre-upgrade backup and retry or contact MMEX support
SQL logic error[1]: no such table:
BILLSDEPOSITS_V1

The iMac is running Monterey and the Macbook Air is running Sonoma. Any ideas? I didn't want to run anything on the database itself, since it is still working on the iMac, but I will if necessary! Any suggestions, I'll give a try. Thanks!

iMac Specs:
MacOS Monterey version 12.7.4
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
Processor 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M395 2 GB

Macbook Air Specs:
MacOS Sonoma version 14.4.1 (23E224)
MacBook Air
Processor: Apple M2, 2022
Memory 8GB

Which MMEX version did you use before upgrading to 1.8?

I update the iMac regularly from the previous versions, so it would be from 1.7 or so. I think I've got that particular iMac when 1.5 was the latest and have updated from there.

The Macbook Air was a clean install strait to 1.8 when I bought it. I uninstalled and tried older versions, but keep getting the error messages.

Please start the installed MMEX version on both computers and take a screenshot of Help/About.
Here is a sample:
