Hey, I am completely new to this and downloaded Armoury just to use as a wallet and sent myself bitcoins before I downloaded Bitcoin core. Are my funds lost? Bitcoin core is fully downloaded and sync'd now, but Armory still has not connected or done anything. Can someone help me, and will I receive my bitcoins after Armory goes back online?

Yes. Just let it completely sync and your coins will show up.

Which version of Armory are you running and where did you download it from? If you used: https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/ <-- THIS IS OLD AND OUTDATED! It likely won't sync up properly with newer versions of Bitcoin Core (versions from 0.15+) You need to get Armory from: https://btcarmory.com/ and make sure you get the latest one (0.96.4) from there.

I have Armory 0.96 installed. It says DB won't load and stays in offline mode even though my Bitcoin Core is done sync'ing. I have started an encrypted wallet, and nothing shows up up changes on the dashboard. Thanks for the help

Help -> Rebuild and Rescan Databases That should do the trick.

If you rebuilt the DB, it's hard to say without seeing the logs. By the way, you can post your logs here. There's no personal info in the logs, other than perhaps the file paths on your computer. You can always modify them if you're worried about that.

2019-01-03 03:00:19 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:197 - DB error: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path
Your user name is "Admin"? Chances are this is a permission issue, i.e. Armory cannot access this folder.

what files should I search for to link the two destinations? (And move them from the admin folder) Or can I just run as administrator and it will work?

You can run as admin but that's not recommended. Armory needs write access to the files and folders in your datadir besides the .conf files.

Why is your user name admin to begin with? The point of the user folder is for the account to have read/write path for processes to maintain the files they need.
From the looks of it, your blockchain data is either not accessible or you don't have any.
I can't really give you instructions until I know what user you are logging in as.

Admin is either the default or I named it like this years ago. The only other user it says is Public and Default.migrated . What needs to be done to have a blockchain? I have Bitcoin Core installed and synced.

Did you install/configure Bitcoin Core to store the blocks in a non-standard location during the first run/setup? If you run Bitcoin Core and look at the "Help -> Debug Window -> Information"... what is the value of "Datadir"? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F11%2F15%2FziGl2.png&t=665&c=MH3TWQ1WYXD1jg)
