Thanks. First, ignore whatever tool you're currently using to view the files and use the SQLite command-line tool instead. Does it get the same kind of error ? If so ... Do you have hexdump or any other tool which can show the beginning of the file as Hexadecimal higits ? The beginning of a normal SQLite database is a fixed header containing easy-to-read ASCII characters. By looking at the file you're trying to open we might be able to figure out what it is. Simon.
