Getting message on computer anmaster.idx database file missing.i have no idea how to restore this please advise,as aol are hopeless,thank you.

OLK15message files are temporary database files of Outlook Mac and yes they store the information of the emails. But unfortunately, there is no way to recover email database built in. You might have to use a third party app that is capable of reading OLK15message files. Here's one that I found: OLK14 Message Recovery

You can do several thing to fix this.

In AOL 9.0, right click the AOL icon in the taskbar at the right hand corner of near the clock, then click on System Information. When it opens...it takes a few seconds...click on the Utilities tab at the top of the page. Click on the Quick Restore button at the bottom of the page. Click on Procedd, then follow any on-screen instructions after that.

If you donot have the AOL tray icon, click on Start, Programs and look for America Online (no version number next to it). Click on AOL System Information in the sub-menu.

In versions of AOL before 9.0:
Go to My Computer
Double-click the C: drive
Double-click on Program Files
Double-click on America Online X.0

((Note): If you have several installations of AOL, open the latest installation file, i.e., 8.0, 8.0a, etc. 8.0a if the latest installation.)

Doulbe-click on the Backup folder
Right-click on main (or main.idx)
Left-click on COPY
Click the BACK arrow in the upper left hand corner of the window
Right-click on the IDB folder
Left-click on PASTE
Answer YES to the question.
After that is done,
scroll down on the page and fine the COMPVER file.
Right-click on it, then left-click on DELETE.
Answer YES to send it to the Recycle Bin.
Restart AOL

If the above two procedures donot work, uninstall all AOL from the computer, then reinstall it.

You can use Recovery Toolbox for Access is used for recovering data from corrupted Microsoft Access database files with *.mdb, *.accdb extensions.

Hi there,

The file which is missing is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\C_America Online 9.0\idb\SNMaster.id

Browse to C:\Program Files\AOL 9.1\ and double click on aol.exe. It should start just fine.

To copy the AOL data files and move them to the right location:
1. Click the Start button, then open My Computer.

Note: If using Windows Vista, click the Start button, then click Computer.

2. Access the AOL folder.

If using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, double-click the Local Disk (C:), then navigate to Windows\All Users\Application Data\AOL folder.
If using Windows Vista, double-click the Local Disk (C:), then navigate to the Windows\ProgramData|AOL folder. Windows Vista users can alternatively search for C_AOL90 to find it.

3. Right-click the C_AOL90 folder, then click Copy.
Note: If there are multiple copies of the C_AOL90 folder, copy the folder with the later letter next to it. e.g.: If you have C_AOL90a and C_AOL90b, then C_AOL90b is folder that would need to be copied.

4. Paste the folder into the correct location.
If using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, navigate to the C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL folder. Right-click the AOL folder, then click Paste.
If using Windows Vista, navigate to the C:\ProgramData\AOL folder. Right-click the AOL folder, then click Paste.
Notes:

If you do not find the Application Data folder, it may be hidden. To see all hidden folders on Windows XP or 2000, click the Tools menu, click Folder Options, then click the View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, choose the Show hidden files and folders option by clicking it, then click the OK button.
If you do not find the ProgramData folder, it may be hidden. To see all hidden folders, click the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options, then click the View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, choose the Show hidden files and folders option by clicking it, then click the OK button.

5. Launch the AOL® software again.

Hi,

This is a system files. These are basic file's in a window directory.Regarding aquatica.dat, it is a multimedia file component.

You can repair this by downloading .dat file from .dat database. You can easily search the file online and add it. If you purchase a software, it would cost you certain bucks. Better reinstall windows or restore.

Computer can be affected by the missing of these files. It depends on How many files are missing, configuration of the PC, Virus, Malisware, Adware etc.

The simple option - Restore or Reinstall, if not a tech.

Let me know,if need any further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Open the Windows Task Manager (in WinXP) by pressing and holding down CTRL-ALT-DEL. In the Applications tab, highlight each program and click the End Task button. Once the Applications tab is empty, close the Windows Task Manager. Then, launch AOL again. (If you’re using an earlier OS, such as Windows 98, press CTRL-ALT-DEL to open the Close Program window, and close every program except Explorer and Systray.)

You could distribute your tables over a number of databases, and link them back into the original database. To do this, you can use the database splitter to get the initial setup, and then manually move some of the tables from the backen-database to a different database, and reling these moved tables into the original database. Another good idea would be to move the backend storage to be SQL Server rather than Access, which would give you a more stable and more scaleable solution.

1) Reinstall the AOL software, available here

2) If that doesn't help, you need to check your hard drive for errors:

Close any open programs.
Open My Computer, right click on your hard drive (probably C:)
Click Properties. Choose Tools, then Error Check, Check now. Select both checkboxes and press Start.

The computer may prompt you to reboot, let it do that.

This should resolve the issue.

Hello,
The standard way of creating a database using VBA, which can be modified to suit your needs is this--> Note: the code (wspDefault.CreateDatabase("Newdb.mdb"...), can be altered to save the database in a folder  such as "C:\NEWDB\text.mdb". sub NewDatabase()     Dim wspDefault As Workspace, dbs As Database     Dim tdf As TableDef, fld1 As Field, fld2 As Field     Dim idx As Index, fldIndex As Field     Set wspDefault = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)     ' Create new, encrypted database.     Set dbs = wspDefault.CreateDatabase("Newdb.mdb", _         dbLangGeneral, dbEncrypt)     ' Create new table with two fields.     Set tdf = dbs.CreateTableDef("Contacts")     Set fld1 = tdf.CreateField("ContactID", dbLong)     fld1.Attributes = fld1.Attributes + dbAutoIncrField     Set fld2 = tdf.CreateField("ContactName", dbText, 50)     ' Append fields.     tdf.Fields.Append fld1     tdf.Fields.Append fld2     ' Create primary key index.     Set idx = tdf.CreateIndex("PrimaryKey")     Set fldIndex = idx.CreateField("ContactID", dbLong)     ' Append index fields.     idx.Fields.Append fldIndex     ' Set Primary property.     idx.Primary = True     ' Append index.     tdf.Indexes.Append idx     ' Append TableDef object.     dbs.TableDefs.Append tdf     dbs.TableDefs.Refresh     Set dbs = Nothing End Sub
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.Thank You,Raph30
