Can I simply dismount it, remove it and delete it from disk or are there other considerations? Can I recreated it again as an empty data base, with the same name or is that a bad idea? ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
