Just an update.  

I was able to restore ALL 603 rows with the help of Mr. Bernard Lis.  We
spent several hours in my office going over all the rows one at a time.  

Things I learned during the process besides backing up etc....  not by fault
my NAS blew up!  ;(     

1.  Rscope does a great job.  I used to use it years ago in DOS day and
there are many improvements over the years.

2.  You need a comfortable chair and two people on a table this large.  We
actually had to take breaks while the other continued.

3.  When the Tables says there are x-many of rows,  yep they are there to be
recovered you just need the 'R'ight tools.  Watch the previous-next-current
pointers and moved to 0.    OMG!  you can go cross eyed doing this.

4.  Patience and more.  I called John and my screen was doing a jumping
thing on the last row,  you could use 'Last row' and then move up the screen
and then try to go back down and it was the fault of the table and NOT
Rscope. He assisted and assured me that it was MY table and not Rscope and
he was correct 100%. 


This table was so bad and I am sure John has seen worse, but I actually had
to take a screen capture and send it to him.  At one point, half way/ middle
on the table all of the rows had the same pointer address.  Like hundreds of
rows!  We had fixed 150+ bad pointers and then we were looking for more when
we found this.  


I would like to thank all those that sent suggestions, scripts etc...   It
was ALL very helpful. 



Sincerely,
Paul
