I was recently having problems with my tech database and had to re link it. However having done that when I start the tech db I get a pop up message telling it was recently re linked and to use the button in the box to re start the tech db. When I do this I get the same message again when it re starts and this just keeps happening every time the db is opened. Anyone have any ideas ?

Try importing the TechDb instead. Be sure that you do not have SolidWorks running when doing this.
