I recently uninstalled AMN on an older computer, and reinstalled and activated on a new one. Yesterday I had no problems running AMN. Today, when I tried to open the same database, I get this message. :

"ERROR: Cannot load file J:/mostrecentbooknotes.ddb, it is corrupted or has a newer version."

It gives me the option to search for a new document after that, but all previous backups display the same error message.

What am I doing wrong here?

I should mention that my databases are saved to an external hard drive, while the program itself is on my C. Don't know if that factors in or not.

Hopefully it's one of three reasons indicated above. In case if not, you can try to keep Shift key pressed on app startup. In case if it's really db corruption (in which I doubt), it will repair it. Note: Shift key works only in version 2.56, as it's pretty new feature.

In case if none was helpful, please send me your allmynotes.log file for more information - here or to

I got this exact issue. Hoping to get news on this.
