v2004, 10.6.8
Yesterday I compacted my databases' data file, something I had not
done since v6 or before. Afterwards, when I opened the database, I
was presented with a series of alerts:
* The correct Log file for this data file could not be found. Try to
find it. If you cannot find the Log File, make a full backup of the
data before creating a Log File.
* The Log File does not correspond to the data file.
* A Log File is necessary to use this database.
I experimented with renaming the data file, but I could not get past
the alerts, so I ended up going back to using the uncompacted file.
I've searched the docs, and I cannot find any special instructions
regarding compacting a data file when using a Log File.
It doesn't say anything about unclicking "Use Log File" before
compacting, but is that what I should do?
or should I backup immediately before compacting?
Thank you -
Janie
