If you are not seeing any data when you open Comet, you could have possibly lost the link to your data. If you see a
“The Required file ‘CometDBV4’ could not be found” message when you open Comet, most likely you have lost the link to the main data file. Press OK and proceed with instructions
Instructions for re-linking Comet to your CometDBV4.mdb (data) file:
- Open COMETV4.mde. On the Comet Main Menu click the Change Path button. The
Find new location of CometDBV4.mdb window is displayed.
- Use the drop-down button on the Look in box and/or the button to the right of the Look in box (“Up One level” button) to browse to the CometDBV4.mdb data file that is stored in the
CometV4 folder on your computer. Finding the data file can be the most difficult part of this exercise. You may want to look at the “Database File” on the Comet Main Menu on a computer that did not lose its link so that you can see the path to the shared data file.
- Click on the CometDBV4.mdb file in the Comet Shared Data folder and click
Open
- The Database Main Menu will show at the bottom the linking process progress. Once links are complete a message will display:
"All Tables were linked successfully, Close and reopen Comet reopen Comet to complete changing path " when the database has been re-linked. Click
OK.
- Click the CLOSE COMET button to close Comet and then re-open Comet to refresh the database file path. You will see the new database file path on the
Comet Main Menu.
If you are having difficulty re-linking Comet, contact Comet Technical Support for directions.
