Presumably you’re running the full version of Endnote and not the trial version.

1. Did you happen to move your Endnote library (.enl) file to a different location on your computer’s hard drive? If so, did you also relocate the accompanying .DATA folder to the same location?

2. Or did you transfer your Endnote library from one computer to another computer? If so, did you follow the instructions given in the knowledge base article “EndNote: Moving, backing up, or transferring libraries to another computer” at [http://endnote.com/kb/82295](http://endnote.com/kb/82295)

3. You can try recovering your library by following the instructions given in the knowledgebase article “EndNote: The proper process for recovering library files” at&nbsp;&nbsp;[http://endnote.com/kb/82291](http://endnote.com/kb/82291)

Thank you so much , I found that the problem was in importing some Pdf files as attachements from untrusted sources , so by moving all contents in Pdf folder inside Mylibrary.data folder&nbsp; then bring back one by one I could have separated the&nbsp; those sub-floders caused the problem.😃

I plan on importing lots of PDFs from PubMed, which I would’ve assumed was a trustworthy source. &nbsp;I also make some of my PDFs (presentation handouts, notes, etc that I like) could these be marked as untrustworthy and cause this ridiculous error? &nbsp;If so how can I turn this feature off?
