Can you please explain all the steps you have taken - also what version of Windows are you using (32-bit or 64-bit)

please am currently using windows 10 64-bit but my old laptop was windows 7 64-bit.

The version of the MANAGER software are the same on both laptop.

so I tried to import the old database on the new laptop and it was imported correctly, but if I try to open the business database to make entries… then the SQLite internal error pops up

@lubos , Am very grateful for helping me solve the problem.

He just told me " rename your business file so it’s shorter? Remove all the timestamps."

I did and its working perfectly.

Thanks all.
