Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm sorry about the inconvenience, but somehow the database is corrupt.

You need to perform a full uninstall, and then reinstall to ensure you start with a clean database.

To fully uninstall MainType:
  • In Windows 10 open the Settings menu (Start -> Settings) and go to System and then click Apps & features.
  • Then remove MainType 7.
  • You will need to fully remove it, so also let it remove the database, vault, and cache files.

I just re-installed the program and it still gives me this error. Any other ideas? Do I need to restart my computer after installing.

This is an old thread. Which version of MainType are you using? The latest is version 11.
