Koen, Thank you for both postings. I was able to get into the design environment and after a bit of a battle with the bad method I was able to delete it and flush it from the trash.
Miyako, I did not really understand your comment: - rather than going to Design the normal way, you could open the DB directly with the MSC. I did this for verifying and repairing both of which reported the structure was good. Am I missing something? Is there some way of looking deeper at the structure in MSC? I have a problem with a different database where tools gives me a warning on a method that no longer exists in the database. The warning reads: (MY_NON_EXISTENT_METHOD [I.55] : invalid table number So the bracket before the method indicates it is looking at a deleted method but the method does not exist in the trash. I have tried adding a method with the same name then deleting it and removing it from trash to see if that would either error along the way or flush it out. Any other ideas? The database is not broken YET... I saw a demo at one of the conferences for a full structure checking application but I have not heard anything since.
