Change database

Hi,
How do I change the database?
I did manage to do so earlier today by creating a new one, but when I wanted to change back to my old one I ran into problems.
To change databases, the manual says just has to open it. I then wanted to swap back to the main one and I just get a "NOT CONNECTED" in the bottom right and a red light instead of the usual green light and the path.
Thanks
Guy
PS Terry, I tried to search for both this issue and the other one. Each search has been met with a message that my words were too common. I must have searched for over 10 times for both issues without success.

Hello Guy,
think it´s a problem of the search facility of the forum. If i try searches i got the same
Error message that the search words are to common ...
Could be possible that this is the problem that we have a lot of new entries from new
users which have problems with T10/FT8 mode.

Hi Juergen,
Thanks for the search answer. Do you have any idea why I cannot reload my original database?
Cheers
Guy

Should just work with File/Open Database
Then locate and select the original database and click open

Hi Terry,
It does not at all here. Also, I cannot find anything in the settings 2 or the other tab (external logs?) that is mentioned in the documentation. I'm stuck here with a broken Log4OM. I cannot open the one I created today or the one that has everything else on it.
Cheers
Guy

Click the 'File" drop down then select open database

Hi Terry,
I have "opened" my database over 50 times so far! It STILL says "not connected".
Here is a screencast to prove it:-

Send me a support request (from help menu) by email
Don't forget to set trace mode before repeating the File/open database operation

Where is the database located, its not on a network is it? -No I cant see the path from your images!
If so try copying the database to the computer Log4OM is installed on and see if it will then open

Hi Terry,
The database is not on a separate computer. It is in its default location on the same computer as I have never moved it. It is here C:\Users\Guy\AppData\Roaming\LogOM.
Cheers
Guy
