>If you can do that kind of coding, you're way out of my bush league. Frightening thing is, it's not that hard, I actually did my proof-of-concept as a macro in outlook... Yes, it's just about that trivial! Which is why I can't believe the ExMerge is as bad as it is.
>This may seem looney, but have you tried doing an Exchange backup of the corrupted store? Backup won't process it. Get's about 6 Gig into the backup and then fails w/the ESE 474 messages in the event log. Unfortunately since it started and created a backup file (granted an invalid one) our monitoring process didn't register the backup failure so we've been doing "invalid" backups for the past 2.5 weeks, hence we don't have a valid backup any longer since we only hold them for 1 week. I downloaded recovery manager, but I've not gotten a key in my inbox yet, guess I need to wait until Monday morning. <Frown> -Walden -- Walden H Leverich III Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x3051 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
