For that specific approach, yeah, you're hosed. You need to install a D3 system, do a full restore, apply the incremental save, then re-save the data so that you can restore it into jBase. You can do that on your own with a $500 developer license from TigerLogic, or you can commission someone to do it for you. If your client's data is important to them I highly recommend you just tell them the options and the cost and make it happen. What most people do is that they'll spend weeks of time, often at a consultant's rate, trying to save that $500. That's just silly. Do it the direct way rather than poking bytes and you'll get this done quickly and inexpensively. HTH Tony Gravagno (Former AP/D3 QA Manager, Product Manager, other titles...)
