Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049

[Brian Kelly]

Try running File Maintenance > Check repair on your family file. You can 
do that to a file that is not opened so open Legacy using the Sample 
file that comes with the program then close the sample file and run file 
maintenance on your file.

I just tried to open my Legacy and received the above error.  It
only says "Rebuild Source Citations." It gets to 341 of 389 then
says "Cannot open database"

I am at the latest update of both Legacy and Win 10.

Any help appreciated.

FWIW I do have a recent backup after my last update.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 when running file maintenance/check repair

[John Groome]

Thanks Cathy and Jay,

I managed, for some unknown reason, to open the database and saved a copy
which I renamed.

I deleted all the lbb files in case that was a lock problem.

I rebooted the system and Legacy opened fine.

I ran the check and repair which fixed an error in a marriage. I saved the
file and have managed to run the check and repair three consecutive times
with no errors.

I have also cleaned up the debris  via List Maintenance.

I have tested by adding, changing and deleting records - the data appears
fine and the Legacy progam is behaving itself.

I am confident I am back on the rails!!

Thanks once again for you help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 when running file maintenance/check repair

[Cathy Pinner]

Contact Support.

If you've been using the SourceWriter you've now converted all your 
sources to Basic so you may want to restore a backup from before you 
created the gedcom since that didn't fix your problem.

[LegacyUG] Error 3049 Cannot open database

[John Groome]

I am running Legacy (7.5.0.208) on a laptop (Windows 7) and a desktop
(windows XP)

The fdb file is stored on google drive

When attempting to run file maintenance:check/repair from the laptop I get
a 3049 error  It may not be a database that your application recognizes,
or the file may be corrupt.

I have checked the website for this error to no avail.

The last addition to the database was made on the desktop.

It is only in the last couple of days I had decided to use a cloud drive.

My suspicion there may be some conflict between W7 and XP. Any Suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 Cannot open database

[Ron Ferguson]

John,

There is no conflict between an fdb file on Win7 and XP - I use the same file 
on both, but I use Dropbox, which also means that I have the fdb on both 
machines.

Error 3049 is an Access error meaning that there is an error in the database, 
and this could be caused by using Google Drive. It seems to me quite possible 
that Legacy cannot check/repair a database on Google Drive. I do not know this 
as a matter of fact as I have not tried it, nor will I ever rely on DB in the 
cloud as my main one.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 Cannot open database

Hi Ron

Before I left to come to work (about an hour ago) I opened Legacy on my
desktop (XP) and ran the repair - everything ran as expected.

However I did notice that the database opened on a different individual to
that on which the W7 application was closed!!

I will do some more checking this evening.

RE: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 Cannot open database

[Paul Gray]

What is the path to your FDB file on each machine? Do you have a local copy of 
the FDB file on each machine, which you periodically refresh from Google drive?

I ask this because I did not think that Google drive was the same kind of 
product as Dropbox. With Dropbox, you always have at least three copies of the 
file, one each on the desktop and laptop, and one in the cloud. When you change 
the file on either the desktop or laptop, the changes are replicated 
automatically (subject to some provisos) in the other two places. But, as far 
as Legacy is concerned, you are still working with a file on your local 
computer.

I thought Google drive (others will correct me if I'm and wrong) was simply a 
cloud storage solution. Certainly you can manually upload and download revised 
versions of files, but it does not automatically synchronise as Dropbox (and 
others) do.

The only time I was aware that you could work directly on the cloud version of 
the file was on an application specifically designed for cloud storage such as 
Google docs.

I also thought that Legacy is only capable of interacting with a 'local' file.

So, bottom line are you really sure that the FDB on both machines is identical. 
If they were not, that's a possible explanation why one machine opened to a 
different individual than the other, although it's possible that it's just some 
user setting that's different as well.

Paul

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 Cannot open database

Hi Ron

Before I left to come to work (about an hour ago) I opened Legacy on my 
desktop (XP) and ran the repair - everything ran as expected.

However I did notice that the database opened on a different individual to 
that on which the W7 application was closed!!

I will do some more checking this evening.

John,

There is no conflict between an fdb file on Win7 and XP - I use the same file 
on both, but I use Dropbox, which also means that I have the fdb on both 
machines.

Error 3049 is an Access error meaning that there is an error in the database, 
and this could be caused by using Google Drive. It seems to me quite possible 
that Legacy cannot check/repair a database on Google Drive. I do not know this 
as a matter of fact as I have not tried it, nor will I ever rely on DB in the 
cloud as my main one.

The fdb file is stored on google drive

When attempting to run file maintenance:check/repair from the laptop I get
a 3049 error  It may not be a database that your application recognizes,
or the file may be corrupt.

I have checked the website for this error to no avail.

The last addition to the database was made on the desktop.

It is only in the last couple of days I had decided to use a cloud drive.

My suspicion there may be some conflict between W7 and XP. Any Suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3049 Cannot open database

[John Groome]

Paul/Ron

Thanks for the info/advice. Having done some further testing I confirm you
are correct in that there is no synchronisation between the files on each
machine and Google Drive.

As a test, I have copied the data files to the drop box folder on each
machine and run Legacy on each. I have added one marriage record on my
laptop, saved and closed. I have opened the database on my desktop and it
opens where I finished on the laptop. To satisfy myself that everything is
OK I checked the record count for marriages and they have increased by 1
and the count is the same on both machines.

I obviously misunderstood how I could use Google Drive. Will now stick to
DropBox!!

Again, many thanks.

John

 Paul,

 Those are precisely the points which I was making.

 What is the path to your FDB file on each machine? Do you have a local
 copy of the FDB file on each machine, which you periodically refresh from
 Google drive?
 
 I ask this because I did not think that Google drive was the same kind of
 product as Dropbox. With Dropbox, you always have at least three copies of
 the file, one each on the desktop and laptop, and one in the cloud. When
 you change the file on either the desktop or laptop, the changes are
 replicated automatically (subject to some provisos) in the other two
 places. But, as far as Legacy is concerned, you are still working with a
 file on your local computer.
 
 I thought Google drive (others will correct me if I'm and wrong) was
 simply a cloud storage solution. Certainly you can manually upload and
 download revised versions of files, but it does not automatically
 synchronise as Dropbox (and others) do.
 
 The only time I was aware that you could work directly on the cloud
 version of the file was on an application specifically designed for cloud
 storage such as Google docs.
 
 I also thought that Legacy is only capable of interacting with a 'local'
 file.
 
 So, bottom line are you really sure that the FDB on both machines is
 identical. If they were not, that's a possible explanation why one machine
 opened to a different individual than the other, although it's possible
 that it's just some user setting that's different as well.
