The database is missing

Hello

 

I have solidworks 2015 and when I  start solidworks it shows me the following error message: The SOLIDWORKS database is missing. Not all features will be available. 

 

I can create a drawing but it's missing Toolbox .

I will continue to read the posts about this subject but so far I have not managed to solve the problem.

 

 

Good evening

 

You may have  lost links to the material libraries

Go  to System Option/File Location/Material Databases

Add --> Select the location  of your material base

 

For the toolbox see link below

Good night

Thank you Yannick for your answer,

But solidworks needs to look for the database SWBrowser.mdb it must be corrupted I am looking for this database and it is  under the following directory:  C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\data utilities\lang\English\swbrowser.mdb . She must be there? How to check if it is corrupted?

For my toolbox it needs this database, everything comes from this damn database.

 

Hi all

Hello

On your screenshots you show us the path "C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\data utilities\lang\English" in Windows Explorer but on the solidworks error message it wants the file "C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\data utilities\lang\English\lang\English\swbrowser.sldedb" so it's normal that it can't find ...

We need to redefine the right path in:

Kind regards

Thank you a big thank you,

When I specified the path C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\data utilities/lang/English I should not specify the lang/English directories, Solidworks was already specifying them,  so there was a duplicate.

Good insight friend
