Good news, Neal: your suggestion worked! All now seems well.
My latest disk failure was one of the most insidious I've seen. I was
tipped off because I kept getting errors when I tried to backup my disk
via a clone operation. I usually simply clone the whole thing so that
restoring it is as simple as swapping out the bad disk, which I'll have
to do anyway. But my clone jobs always failed at the same place.
S.M.A.R.T. data revealed nothing noteworthy (one read failure), but I
kept getting notices that I had to run chkdsk and when I did, clusters
were reassigned.
But, everything seems to be fine, now.
Thanks again, Neal!

The ldb file is just a "lock" saying that a program has the mdb database
open. When you quit the program, it removes the ldb file.
The stats are in the log itself.
I would create a new log file, then quit DXBase, open up the DXBase Import
program and import the old log into the newly created one. Then run DXBase
with the new log and recalculate your statistics.

A thought: are all the stats saved in the .ldb file? If so, because I have
made no DXCC submissions since the last good backup, can I simply use (by
renaming) the old .ldb file, and then reinitialize the tables?
