# Database Error: Column ‘date_updated’ specified twic

 * This is the error I’m getting _Database Error: Column ‘date\_updated’ specified
   twic_ when I attempt to import a file of new users. Problem is, there is no column
   of “Date Updated” or anything like it. SO I tried to manually add them, and got
   the same error.
 * This leads me to assume it’s trying to say there are two columns called ‘date_updated’
   in the database, problem is. I can’t find a second. I can find the original, 
   but I do not see any other column with that as it’s code.
 * Now I will admit, I have had two updates recently since my last import so I’m
   not sure if one of these corrupted the database. Any tips or ideas other than
   going into the raw data would be preferred.
