[amibroker] Corrupting databases

["Barry" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed Windows 7 on my system along with XP, dual boot.  I created a database on Win 7 and tried to point it to the same database I am using in XP. When I tried to look at the tickers in the data base nothing was there.  I went back to XP and tried to use the database and nothing was there.  I looked at the database and it had the data in it.  So what did Ami do?  It seems Ami is not clever enough to see that a database is in use and simply allow a separate instance of Ami to share the data base. It should not erase the data without a warning. 

I keep the data on a separate hard drive from my programs.  So both operating systems can access the data files.So what do I have to do now to 
1. get the data base into a usable form? 
2. Allow Win 7 to share the same database? 

I could have backed it up but I did not expect Ami to screw up the database, and it should not have. Data is the most important part and care should be taken not to destroy it.  If it destroyed the data this is really annoying since some of the data cannot be replaced. 

Thanks,
Barry
