I've gotten this error three times over the past couple of weeks. Today I got it, and then MLK crashed:
An error was encountered creating your temporary tables: DBISAM Engine Error #13060 The table " already exists
Anything I should do?
Thanks, Nigel,

I am having the same problem when running a large mailing (20-40k.) Keep getting the following message:
An error was encountered creating your temporary tables: DBISAM Engine Error # 13060. The table " already exists.
Once OK'd mailing resumes until error reoccurs. This means MLK cannot be left to run unattended.
I'd be grateful for some feedback.

Yes, I should have mentioned that it was during mailing...in my case, all times this has happened has been during a spaced-batch sending, and I found myself babysitting the program.

Hmmm, what versions are you using?
I would first try doing a repair of the database and see if that resolves the problem as your database has probably been corrupted.
Have you tried running the database utility and repairing your send tables:
i) Download the Database Utility from http://www.xequte.com/download/dbsys330.exe
ii) Install and Run it.
iii) Select Utilities>Repair
iv) Click Select and browse to your database folder (search your hard disk for the file mlk_main.dat to locate your database folder)
v) Your database files will be displayed in the box below. Hold down the Ctrl key and select each file in turn
vi) Click Open to repair all of your files

Nigel,
I was running v6.26R, but have upgraded to v6.28R and optimised the database, but the problem keeps recurring.
Now I've attempted to repair the database following your instructions but keep getting another error:
DBISAM Engine Error # 11010 Table 'C:\...\MaiList King\...\.BLB' does not exist.
Any suggestions?

Nigel,
I've managed to run the database repair utility. The problem is that there is a blank line at the top of the list of database files. If selected, on Open the error '.BLB does not exist' is returned, though it doesn't say which .BLB it can't find. If deselected, all the other database files are repaired. Do you want me to mail you the repair log file?
Will let you know if repairing the database has resolved the original problem (Error # 13060)

Hi Toby
That's very weird. Is it possible that you deleted some files? Do you have a text backup of your database?
Please send me your database files.

My sending schedule came back around again, and despite doing the database repair, I'm still getting this same error about the DB not existing. It seems to happen when I send out timed batches. The process stops with the error, but once the OK button is pushed it carries on as if nothing happened.
Usage-wise it's inconvenient, because for each batch I have to essentially send it manually. I haven't had this problem before the last two builds. |

Hi
Have you tried running chkdsk on the drive itself, in case the drive is going bad?
Try copying your database to another folder and opening the copy (and using that one) to see if that resolves it.
You might also export your database to a file, and then create a new database and import your records.

Hi Nigel,
I think I've finally figured out what's going on. I did do CHKDSK and actually found a corrupted file from Zone Alarm... but that wasn't it.
I believe what's happening is that on my Toshiba laptop with WinXP Home, when the computer is idle for more than, say, 15 minutes, it begins to turn things off, such as the processor, disk drive, and then, the screen. If any of these things are "sleeping," when MLK comes on thru a timer, before the computer has a chance to "wake up," MLK has already lost contact with the database, and then reports the error.
I've had this happen on a couple of other programs, and for the life of me, I can't find the controls to prevent this from happening. It's not in the power usage area--it seems to be something built in to XP (unless there's a setting in "services" that I'm not seeing).
When I keep the machine busy, MLK runs its batch send timer just fine. So, after all, it was my machine.

Hi Boyd
Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps another reader knows how to re-configure your laptop settings.

| I have this error happen as well. It happens to me over a networked computer (wireless conection) when my computer and the server are not communicating properly. What I do is simply restart MLK and it is fine. For me, it is not a MLK issues, but a network conectivity issue. |
