New Database gets created

Here's a wierd one I get from time to time. When I close /exit Log4OM sometimes a new database gets created.

So I made some QSO entries closed/exited from LOG4OM, next time I load log4om I find my last QSO entries missing. On opening the folder where the database is saved I find another database with my latest entries.

Why is it sometimes this new database gets created, its very annoying

(This not the backup datebase by the way in the backup folder)

As always we need the Version number!

Version number - version number - version number

Can you please move the database to a physical drive not One drive because as we have said before Onedrive makes security changes that stop folders and files being read correctly, the only reliable clouds are Google drive and Dropbox for our purposes

Are you running log4om on two pc's, I.e. one running a jt program and another something else?

Sorry forgot to gve you the version VERSION 2.33.0.0
I'll get this moved out Onedrive onto another drive.

Yes sometimes I open LOG4OM on another Computer but use exactly the same LOG4OM software.

Try Google Drive but make sure you use the installed version don't just rely on cloud
