I can not open Audacity file (aup3) recorded on another computer in the same program version (3.2.5).
Receive message “Can not open database file”
I use Audacity version 3.2.5 Win 10

This should work - as long as you are not trying to open the same copy. If you are able to open an Audacity .aup3 project file on one computer, you should be able to open a copy of that file on another computer, using the same version of Audacity. Do you get a specific “sqlite3.rc”: “xx" error code? If so, you can look that up here: Result and Error Codes

Well, I also expected that it should work…

Code of the mistake was as follows:

" (14) SQLITE_CANTOPEN result code indicates that SQLite was unable to open a file. The file in question might be a primary database file or one of several temporary disk files."

Yes, so that is not very helpful. :wink:

There may be an issue with the media. See if you can create, save, close, and re-open a database on that media. I am thinking that Audacity will not work on certain FAT formatted drives. See: Loading direct from SD drive not working
