When I open RM ver 6 I am getting a SQLite error 26 message. What is the trouble? Once I close the error message window, I am able to work in the system.

The SQLite Error 26 definition is "File opened that is not a database file". I would have thought that would be fatal and am surprised that you are able to keep on working on the database. Is it possible that you had two databases open the last time you closed RM and that you have been changing the names of databases, possibly naming a file the same as one of the ones open in the last session and that it is not a RootsMagic database but something else, e.g., if you changed the extension to .rmgc, RM thinks it is a RM database file until it opens it and its database engine (SQLite3) determines that it is not a SQLite3 database. Is this a recurring problem with the same database file but not others? If so, then it sounds like your database file has suffered some corruption which you might be able to recover from by using RM's File > Database Tools, especially Compact which should rewrite the database file in its entirety. If there was corruption, it might be caused by one of two things: a power glitch during a write operation or some degradation of your hard disc drive. In the case of the latter, that may give you grief again, not necessarily with RootsMagic. You would be wise to run the Windows Error-checking tool CHKDSK.
