Jeremiah, Perhaps the fact that my experience was with Personal Oracle 7.3.2.3 on Win95 explains the hosed database - Win95 not being the best platform, to say the least.
I'll definitely try it again - on a test database, of course. BTW, I can't find any way to tell DBV to verify more than one datafile at a time. Is there? Thanks. Jack C.
