Database error

[morteloe]

I have used PTv2 for a long time and never had problems with the database collapsing or something like that, but today when I opened the program I got an error message that said that my database is corrupt and that I need to repair it. Obviously I try to do that, but I'm just getting another error that said "unvalid argument".

Unfortunately, I do not have a backup and I have something like 100-150k of hands in that database so it would really be a punch in the groin to loose all that information. I've tried to re-install the OBDC Sqlite server, update to the newest patch, re-install pokertrackerv2 and also repair the database file but nothing seems to work. Is my database lost for good or is there a slim slim slim chance that I can get it back?

When I re-installed pokertracker I copyed the .mdb-file that was corrupted in order to paste it back to the new PTv2-folder but that seemed to have been a poor desicion cus now I cant even open the .mdb-file. What to do exept die?

What email address did you use to purchase PT2? I have no record of the email address used for this site.
What is the exact error it gives you when PT opens. What is the name of the file that it tells you needs to be repaired?

Hmm, I honestly dont remember the email adress I used when signing up, is there a way to find out?

The exact error message that I recieve I cannot tell you because I re-installed pokertracker and the message won't appear again and second of all, its in swedish so I have to translate it. It said something similar like this: "Database error. The database cannot be recognized by the program or the file is damaged. Then I press the repair button and instantly I recieve another error that says "invalid argument" with the topic "OBDC Sqlite server cannot be loaded (unknown)".

Then I recieve this

"Error Date: 09/12/2008 21:19
Database Error: -1206
Error Text: SQLSTATE = S1000
[Microsoft][Drivrutin för ODBC Microsoft Access] Det går inte att öppna databasen '(okänt)'. Databasen kanske inte känns igen av programmet eller så är filen skadad.
Object: ue_opendatabase event of w_frame"

Translation:

Error Date: 09/12/2008 21:19
Database Error: -1206
Error Text: SQLSTATE = S1000
[Microsoft][Driver for ODBC Microsoft Access] The database cannot be opened "(unknown)". The database may not me recognized by the program or the file may be damaged.
Object: ue_opendatabase event of w_frame"



The file that I cannot open is "ptrack.mdb". I have, as I allready told you, re-installed pokertracker and it works properly now with a new database, but I'm just wanted to check if there is any possibility to regain my information from the other database. I'm really sorry for the poor information that I'm giving and I understand if you cant help me but thats everything I got!
