Dennis, If - and that's a very big if - the structure has not - and that's an equally big not - been changed then you should be able to run a RELOAD and R:Base will re-set all the row counts and pointers.
You'll probably get lots of error messages but as you're creating a new database you can ignore them and let R:Base continue without changing your damaged database. Nevertheless, I would still ensure that you have another copy as a backup! You then need to check that everything is ok but you should find that you're in luck. Good luck, Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Fleming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 6:15 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Rbase files damage > The user somehow trashed their system and sent us the four RB files. > Unfortunately, the 2,3,4 files are after the files were reloaded and the > RB1 file is before the data base was reloaded.
