Copy Database

Post by pa2kw »

Hello,

When copying my active database (File/Copy Database to) to a new database name and opening this new database (File / Open Database), it seems to be empty (Tab "Recent QSO's F8).
The size of the file suggests that it should contain many QSO's.

As far as I know, I did this procedure several times without any trouble, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Any idea?

Hi Evert,

I just tried this procedure and it worked for me. I performed a "Copy Database to" to a new file name and location, then opened that same new name and location and all my qso's appeared in Log4OM. Make sure you are opening from the correct folder and file name which you used to copy.

This is with current version 1.23.

The only idea i have is you don't have access rights to this folder.
Check program log, usually all errors are logged there.

Thanks both for the answers.

It seems not to be a "rights" issue but some kind of Windows issue (I guess).
I did it from the correct location (only have one).

After I restarted my PC, it works as intended.

Cause : unknown (at least for me)
