Al,

There are two possible reasons can caused this error:

1. The database file is crashed.
If you have backed up the database file before, you can restore the backup file

2. Wrong database file
The database format for different application are different. For example: If you use ezCheckPersonal to open ezCheckPrinting software database, you will see this error.

Thank you.
