After recovering, have you tried performing a SaveAs and then a Compress to see if that resolves the issue?
-----Original Message----- From: FileMaker Pro Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kevin doyle Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Recovering an FM database Here's my dilemma. I managed to accidentally delete a needed filemaker database by emptying the trash (Mac OSX 10.4) Everything I've read online generally says that deletes under Unix operating systems are pretty much forever. Nevertheless, before writing anything else to disk I managed to use Data Rescue to san and recover files from the freespace on the disk. While it renamed the covered files, it did manage to get the file type /icon correct for them and and the file sizes seem to be correct from what I remember. The problem I'm having is a variety of things. In almost all cases, a file will launch the application, but it usually stops with a damage notice and asks me to use the recover command. In some cases recover will recover the file structure, but the fields say [table missing]. In other cases it tells me it can't recover the file. Does anyone know of other recovery options than the built in filemaker function? Or how to look at a text level version of the data?
