This could be a problem with the file places.sqlite - Locked or Damaged places.sqlite

Check and tell if its working.

Thanks very much for your reply. I don't understand a word of it. It's late in the day (EDT) and the cocktail hour has started, and I have trouble with this language even when at the top of my form. I'll look at all this tomorrow and see if I can reason it through. I'm an intelligent person who is daily made to feel like a dunce by her computer.

I'm putting this problem on hold until a friend who speaks cyber can come translate and help. Then she can give you a rational reply. Thanks so much. This all makes me miserable. Your mission is to make our world a better place by fixing that.
