Solution

This issue arises if the NI-XNET database contains underscores or slashes in its name.

Remove underscores and slashes from the names of XNET database files and try to select the file again.

Additional Information

It is recommended to name the database files without underscores and slashes in order to avoid issues or unexpected behaviors like those described above. Name the XNET database file with a single word.
