Simply Accounting damaged database

Nov 14, 2005 1 Replies

Hello all, I'm getting an error when I try to open my Simply Accouting Database. Has anyone else seen this error before?



This is the error message I get when I try to open a simply accounting database:



"The database may be damaged or it is not a valid Simply Accounting database. If it is a valid database that is damaged, the program can try to repair it, or you can restore a backup of this database. To repair the database you will need to open the company in single-user mode."



When I open an older version and then try to restore from my most recent backup, this is the error message I get:



"Restore failed. Failure decompressing data".



Thanks for your help.

Need support for SA specifically, but if I understand what you said you did you tried to open a current version backup w/ an older version--that not surprisingly didn't work. Try the backup w/ the current version.

I don't know SA but if it's one of those abominable programs that automagically installs updates behind your back and it has done such a thing since your last backup, you may have a problem...
