If so, then there is something corrupt in the AMA DATABASE. It's getting corrupted on our systems pretty easily as well. The error that pops up on an AMA to QT file is "There was an error linking AMA files".

One of the many PMR files in this folder was corrupt, and it wouldn't allow me to link anything. Deleted the databases, and it rebuilt them, allowing me to link once again.
