Post by: RedDwarfDogs on November 12, 2023, 03:23:40 am

When I open it, nothing appears. I made a copy of it, changed to .mdb extension and opened it with no issues.

• Everything was fine last night before I rebooted,
• Nothing Shows up under projects
• Integrity | Repair, Compact and Reindex | Manage .Eapx/.eap File | has all options disabled
• I have uninstalled and reinstall EA with no chage

Everything was fine last night before I rebooted. I am going to pull a backup.

So, downloading 32bit, opening and then converting
