Sorry, but that doesn't work and there's no way to make it work. But I'm mystified about why you still have problems when you have replaced the corrupt database file with a backup taken before the meddling. Are you absolutely 100% certain that you've restored the entire backup ... not just the database file you know you changed but everything else that goes with it ? The error you quote is not generated by SQLite but instead by whatever program you're using. The writers of the program you're using might be able to help you figure out why their application is crashing. Simon.
