pal.db

Question

Hi everyone,

Could it be that having OneDrive active causes problems with the pal.db file?

I had a similar error message and paused OneDrive. I haven't received any further error messages since.

Warm Regards

P.s.: Got this Error, during Batch Resave

OneDrive WILL cause issues if you have allowed it to be constantly syncing your (entire) Documents folder.

Numerous programs (like Native Access) park system files in the Documents folder. These should never be allowed to sync with OneDrive as that process will lock instantly files - leading to errors that you are seeing.

If you are intent on using OneDrive - it needs to be specifically told which subfolders (In Documents) it gets access to and which it does not. Do that here:

But you need to avoid allowing OD any ability sync the entire subfolder structure with the Documents folder.
