program stopped working

[IjonTihy]

Hi, I'm having a problem with the program. While adding a new season, I deleted the schedule, and the program crashed to Windows.
Now, when I try to run it, I get the error: Run time error 28 Out of stack space.
I restarted the computer and nothing.
But it works with a different database.

Sorry to hear that happened.
The error “Run-time error 28 – Out of stack space” usually occurs if the program gets stuck in a loop while trying to read damaged or incomplete data. In your case, deleting the schedule most likely left the database in an inconsistent state.
In such situations, you’ll need to fall back to a backup copy of your database file – hopefully you have one.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I don't have a backup – I'm not used to programs that corrupt their data and don't automatically back database up
But!
I edited the database in a hexadecimal editor, and all I had to do was change two bytes: and the database works
Although I still can't access that specific season that caused the problem (I keep getting an error 28 and crashing the program to desktop), the rest works without any problems. I need to find a way to delete that one season – there's not much of it, because I only managed to add teams and set the first round.
Maybe through Access?

The studio has been around for more than 20 years and is used by several thousand satisfied football fans. A case like the one that happened to you is extremely rare, but it can occur.

... and don't automatically back database up

And precisely because this happens so rarely — I suppose — some users don’t create backups regularly, even though the documentation points this out several times.
