CSPro Users Forum

Hello,

After moving csdb file from tablet to computer i am receiving this message:
"Could not open the data source SAMPLE_DICT: Unable to read csdb file. Could be an invalid file, a corrupt file or it could be in use by another program."

Is there any way to solve the issue? I need to recover the data.

Thanks.

If the tablet was still running CSEntry it is possible that the file was still open in CSPro and it wasn't fully saved. I would try closing CSEntry on the tablet and copying the file again. To fully close CSEntry, switch to CSEntry and then use the back button until CSEntry closes. If that doesn't work then you can send the file to us at cspro@lists.census.gov and we can try to recover it but no guarantee we can so please try to copy the file again first.

Thank you josh,

As i have mentioned the file was moved from tablet and no copy is available. I'll send the file for your review.
