It sounds like the table is corrupted. Try using the database utility to repair your database tables:
i) Download the Database Utility from http://www.xequte.com/download/dbsys330.exe<-- OLD VERSION. SEE NEW LINK BELOW ii) Install and Run it. iii) Select Utilities>Repair iv) Click Select and browse to your database folder (search your hard disk for the file mlk_main.dat to locate your database folder) v) Your database files will be displayed in the box below. Hold down the Ctrl key and select each file in turn vi) Click Open to repair all of your files
If you have a backup of the mlk_stat.* files you should restore it. Otherwise create a new database and replace the current mlk_stat.* files with the new ones (of course this means that you will lose your statistics under View > Graphs and Statistics.
Assuming it is corruption then that can occur when you have a disk error or an MLK crash. However the error you describe is not typical of corruption and corruption generally resolves itself by using the repair function.
A weirder possibility is that the mlk_stat table from an older version of MailList King was restored to your database folder. That would explain the error, but I can't imagine a situation where this would happen.
Hi I got the same error but for mlk_main My dB has been hanging and I have been unable to delete history have optimized/ repacked deleted ( month =0)however still dbisam is unable to open repair I thought I needed to create a new database and start again but I loose all my Setting SMTP etc I about to undertake a big campaign and MLK has soiled itself
So MLK won't open the database at all? You can put your database into a zip and email it to us, if you like.
If you lose your database, you you don't lose your settings, but rather all the members and their details. So you should regularly back up your database.
Note that the repair tool above is for older versions of MLK. You should be using the new one if you are on MLK 10 or newer:
1. Close MailList King 2. Download the Database Utility from http://www.xequte.com/download/dbsys426.exe 3. Install and Run it. 4. Select Utilities > Repair 5. Click Select and browse to your database folder (search your hard disk for the file mlk_main.dat to locate your database folder) 6. Your database files will be displayed in the box below. Hold down the Ctrl key and select each file in turn (but NOT any file named mlk_send_task...) 7. Click Open to repair all of your files
