Installed it a few minutes ago and it just won't update the database, nor even show it. Immediately after installing: http://youtu.be/EAcyUzTcFKk After restarting the program: http://youtu.be/KmXkCRq_BEw I have the Netgear WNR3500Lv2 BTW

Is the routers.mdb file in the folder with the program?

Also download the test mdac tool down the page on here
http://www.pcwintech.com/shanes-toolbox

And post the results. The program uses mdac to access the database, so if either of those are not working then the database wont load.

yes, the mdb file present. The tester create an error 429 (would be funny if it was 420

) But the rest of the messages say successful.

Must be tired, I'm typing like a caveman!

OK so MDAC is messed up on the system. The program should use ADO when DAO fails but looks like ADO might be having trouble as well.

Trying running my MDAC repair out of my Windows repair tool and see if it fixes it

After rebooting Windows, still showed the error 429. The drop downlist for the router worked. Then I clicked update, waiting till no more windows popped up, clicked okay. Drop down, no routers listed. Restart the program, drop-down showed the list of routers again. Only thing missing is the v2 at the end of the WNR3500L, but I assume it's the same procedure. Anyway, thanks. Nice to have this handy.
