NT 6.5 Failed to compact DB

[sju10544]

Hi guys,

I know, this issue was discussed already, but I can't solve it...
I got an error message when I try to Repair my database (see the attachment).

I have already deleted NinjaTrader 6.5 (vers. 15). Deleted the registry entries and reinstalled it. After this procedure I tried to repair the DB once more - with no luck. Same error message. Renamed the fresh NinjaTrader.mdb. No luck. There are no workspaces, templates, charts etc. right now. Only a fresh installed NinjaTrader. And I've got no NT7 on this PC.

And yes, I'm using Windows7, 64bit. But a friend of mine is using this OS also. He has absolutely the same setup but NO problems to repair his DB.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Jens

Please use the steps I have provided below to move your database files to another location on your PC.

• Close NinjaTrader
• Documents
• NinjaTrader 6.5
• db folder
• Select all .mdb file such as NinjaTrader, OldNinjaTrader, etc.

• Restart NinjaTrader

Please let me know if the issue persists after this procedure.

Hi CristopherJ,

thank you for the quick reply. I moved all the *.mdb files to another folder. Started NT again. Of course a new "NinjaTrader.mdb" was created.
The I tried to repair the new DB - without luck. Just the same error message... And now?
