copying the database

Post by jac »

I have 2 computers in different places. In order to have all my mp3 togheter I┤ve installed songs-db in each of one. After scanning one, i┤ve generated a .mdb with data. Then after copying de full .mdb to de empty .mdb, songs-db won┤t open. It says that there is a problem with de database, and after 3 clicks, it opens with nothing on it.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

This is definitely possible, I do it quite often for testing purposes. I guess you have done something wrong, because I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. The exact steps could be like:
- install twice the latest version of Songs-DB (on both computers)
- scan your harddrive on one of them
- close Songs-DB (necessary, otherwise it isn't possible to work with the database)
- copy data\SongsDB.mdb file from one to the other one
- start Songs-DB
- now it should work fine (only replacing SongsDB.mdb file by another working copy doesn't make any problem)
