BlueSkies Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Hello, We are running MLS Junior Librarian (database located on file server). This morning, when loading the JL software it is displaying an error message that it is unable to locate the database file (and the path is correct). If I look in the network drive where the library database file should be - library.mdb is not there! The following files are present: library.bak security.mdb security.bak locks.mdb locks.bak I have NO idea how the library.mdb file can just disappear - has anyone else ever seen this happen??! Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I am going to restore a backup taken earlier in the week and hopefully this will get me back to where i need to be, but am just very curious as to what might have happened!! Thanks

Hi, yes the files are backed up every night so I am hopeful that I can get back to where I need to be! I have searched the server - no sign of library.mdb anywhere!! :-( Very strange!
john Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Someone deleted it? AV Software thinking its dodgy and removed it?
bennz Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 AV is normally the cause of the actual .mdb going missing.
Blue_Cookeh Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I could be completely off track here but those look like standard DB files to me. What if you copy the library.bak to a new file called library.mdb? EDIT: Saw the date but my point still sta
