You need to do a lot of reading and learn how to use Bitcoin and Armory properly before proceeding (you actually should have done this step before buying any bitcoins).
Armory is an advanced wallet for savvy users. You need to run Core and let the block chain sync completely. You should download the latest Armory version from the sticky here in this sub-forum. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/0964-rc1-2227856
If you need immediate access to your bitcoins, you'll need to start Armory in offline mode, extract your private key, and import it into a newb friendly wallet.
If your transaction isn't showing on a block explorer (there are several, try them all), then whichever exchange you used didn't actually send any coins to your address and you'll need to contact them.

Thank you for your reply. I found the solution. The problem was that I was using an older version of armory wallet, and I am running already the latest Bitcoin Core wallet.
There are different versions on the websites, the oldest one that I downloaded from the first link above last week, did not run with the latest bitcoin core:
https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/download/ (0.96)
A few hours ago I tried update and It worked (I was afraid because I thought It would overwrite the DB, but that didn't happened, and now it's fully working).
https://btcarmory.com/0.96.3-release/
plus the version 0.96.3.99 on goatpig fixed post (which btw, is impossible to download. Broken link or something....)

Hi,
I'm quite new on this universe of crypto currency, and I follow instructions of a friend to use Armory.
Well I downloaded Armory wallet, installed and then I generated a code to receive bitcoins. So after that made the transfer from my bitcoin exchange broker to Armory. The thing is, I didn't had Bitcoin Core by the time yet, and still couldn't run it online.
The main question is, did I lost my BTC or is it still possible to recover it? Kind of worried, because so far It's not showing on blockexplorer.com and I made this transfer 6 days ago, but again, mayba that is just because I couldn't connect so far (at least I hope that is the problem)...
very time I open Armory, comes with the message: Armory - Failed to spawn the DB.
I have downloaded Bitcoin Core already, but nothing is being displayed on my wallet.
It seems that the version on the website is not the last one. I saw the fixed post by one o the developers (goatpig), but still couldn't download the lastest version (broken or something). I was wondering if It would be a good move to install the lastest version, over this actual one. Any thoughts?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Tnx!
