You're using a SQLite3 database, not and XML file, and SQLIte3 thinks that its file has gotten corrupted. If you have backups you should make sure that the one or two from just ´before the first time you encountered the error are safe and available. If you don't have backups then this is a message from your deity to start keeping regular ones.
I think the simplest fix is to re-save to a new file using File>Save As... I suggest doing it twice, one XML and the other SQLite3. You pick which one with the list box on the top of the Save As dialog box. Regards, John Ralls > On Mar 15, 2020, at 4:53 PM, Eric H.
