I'm not that surprised. As far as I can tell, older versions of Bitcoin Core just fail to sync properly now...

Thank you! That Solved it! (updating to Bitcoin core 16.3.
You're welcome. I'm surprised that alone made a difference but I'm glad it did.Hope it remains problem free for you from now on.
Thank you! That Solved it! (updating to Bitcoin core 16.3.
Thanks for the update as I am running Bitcoin core 16.0. I will update ASAP.
OK, I tried to pull it with the code given above and only got a bunch of gibberish.
Then I pulled it another way. (Note the text at the top almost matches the text line you gave me). It is here https://pastebin.com/JK8WAdzh

Thanks for the logs. Definitely odd that the dblog is that short.Then I pulled it another way. (Note the text at the top almost matches the text line you gave me). It is here https://pastebin.com/JK8WAdzh

I just realised that nobody has asked which version of Bitcoin Core are you running. Please make sure you do have the latest version (0.16.3) https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/
If it wasn't 0.16.3, it could be helpful to know which version you had installed.
My best guess is still that the Armory database has gotten corrupted somehow.
Relatively easy fix to try, but will take time to rebuild.
Make sure Armory isn't running. If you can, check for ArmoryDB.exe in task manager's processes, and if it is there end it.
Press the Windows Key & the R key together. You'll get a popup to "Run". Enter this into the box (exactly as it is) and hit OK:
Code:
%appdata%\Armory\
The Armory datadir folder should open and inside will be a lot of files including your logs and wallet files. Leave those alone, but there should be a "databases" folder there.You want to delete the just "databases" folder (and anything in it).
You could reboot your PC at this point for good measure if you're not sure if Armory might be running still.
Start up Armory once this is done. It should start the process of building & scanning again. Fingers crossed that once it rebuilds you'll be connected and up to date.
Yes , near as I can tell? I am NOT technical.
So guide me through how to pull more and I will pull it?
Shouldn't be much technical magic to it - just a text file and either you've copy/pasted it all or not So guide me through how to pull more and I will pull it?
Generic path to that file is
Code:
%appdata%\Armory\dbLog.txt
or in your specific case Code:
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Armory\dbLog.txt

Is what you posted on pastebin the ENTIRE contents of dbLog.txt? 
bump?
Ok, Thanks for the info. Hopefully, I got you what you need. I have posted it at Imgur.

This snippet is useless.
The best would be to post the complete log. And please use https://pastebin.com/ and provide us the link.
Images are a pain in the ass to look for errors inside a log.

Hi
I am not sure I understand. Is the dblog.txt file different than what I posted?

Yes, what you posted is the aggregate log, I want the db specific log now.

If so where do I find it?
Armory's datadir, where your wallets reside.

Post dbLog.txt. If you have to cut it down, I'm more interested in the tail of the file than the head.
Rebooted the computer. restarted bitcoin core. Let it sync. Then restarted Armory let it sync all nite. Same issues?
Unfortunately, my armory log is so big paste bin will not let me post it.
So the log is reposted https://www.blogmyoptions.com/test/

Just restart the whole stack. If it fails again, post your logs.
Thanks guys.
Normally I sync bitcoin core before I start Armory. Once core is sync'd I shut it down then start Armory. On this last round, I ran Bitcoin Core and got it updated. Shut it down and started Armory let it run all night and it would never finalize itself.

It is quite possible that you had an "old" ArmoryDB process running.
Either restart the PC, start Bitcoin Core, then start Armory... or shutdown Armory, make sure that all the Armory related processes in Task Manager have been "killed". Then, try restarting Armory.
