The first line of the message tells you what the problem is. The second line offers you the solution.
 
The message occurs everytime at start up which never happened before. It's annoying. Whats the best way to fix it besides doing a back restore? Admins, any advice here?
 
Besides a restore, why besides?
The other way is manually fixing the database in a text editor but depending on the corruption it might not be enough.

....and then what do you do? It asks if you want to fix it, so do you click yes?
 
Groove Dj...I do not want to fix the corrupt database EVERY TIME I open the program. Has never happened before.
 
You're not being very clear here. When the message first appeared, did you click yes?

If you don't click yes, it's not likely to be fixed, is it?
 
I click yes to fix. However EVERY time I open the program it asks me to fix the databass. I would like a permanent fix. I have never received this error before.
 
Have you tried restoring from a recent backup?
 
I restored to a previous database and still have the corrupt database message when I start VDJ. How can I locate the corrupt file or item in the database via html editor?
 
it's text editor and it's xml, you know where your backups are you loaded one.
But if you're asking questions like this I'm not sure you'll be able to fix it.
 
Admin, if I sent a backup of my database, would someone be able to troubleshoot where/how the database is corrupted? Thanks
