PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 20 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: June 3, 2025

The error code 1215 "Address table cannot be loaded" is common in 4D applications with damaged data files.
This error usually arises when querying the database or when making data operations with commands like SELECTION TO ARRAY.

While reasons for this damage might vary, a common solution is to repair the data file in the Maintenance and Security Center (MSC).

Here are some steps you can try in a copy of your data file:

  1. In the main toolbar in 4D, click on MSC.

  2. In the left sidebar, click on "Repair".

  3. Make sure the correct data file is selected and choose "Standard repair".

  4. Click on "Repair".

If the issue persists, you can also try the option "Recover by record header".
