Microsoft Jet Database Cannot Find MDF table
Problem: I am trying to import a backup of my sightings from version 3.1 into the current version of the software. When I try this, I see an error message that says:
"An error occurred importing the database: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'MDF'. Make sure it exits and that its name is spelled correctly."
"An error occurred importing the database: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'MDF'. Make sure it exits and that its name is spelled correctly."
Solution: This error message indicates that the MDF table cannot be found. You are probably trying to use a backup file of your sightings that was created by an older version of our software. Backup files from older versions of the software are not supported for import into v3.9.x, v4.0.x, or v5.0.x. Only the original application database can be imported.
We suggest that you import those backup files into the older version and then import the application database. See this Knowledgebase article for more instructions:
