I am getting a Missing Serialization file message after entering my username and password,  please help

Hi Can you upload an image of the message you get?

What version of DataEase is this?

dataease 8 5

Solved found a backup with matching dbm files to current database.  Copied  current database dbm files into the backup overwr,iting  the dbm files in it.  Skipped all the system dbms. Then reorganizeda all forms. It fortunately worked

Glad it worked.

The reason we asked is that this error message "doesn't exist" anymore.

it is a system message from DFD when you used a DE16M.EXE that wasn't serialized properly.

PRISM which is the database core in all DataEase for Windows is built on top of DFD so you can say the RNA if not the DNA is DFD so sometimes when things get corrupted the error messages you get come from this old code and make no sense at all.

We are glad that you had a backup you could use to fix your problem.

All the best.
