Yeah, nothing like a corrupted DB to make you rethink the whole backup scenario!!!
I know several people who have varying methods of making periodic backups throughout the day. One company does a backup every 3 hrs, and keeps them around for like a month I think. I can't remember, I think version X has some kind of backup routine built in? But in any case, even using a backup usually means you lose data. For people who believe that nothing should be on paper, there really needs to be some paper-trail available so you can recreate the work that you have "lost".

Through your guidance, the pdf manuals provided by RBASE, using RSCOPE and your encouragement to continue trying I was able to get the DB back working. Thankfully we lost a minimum of data. This is the first time I have had a DB this corrupted and was a definite learning process. We have a great group on this list. You are a great help to someone like myself who does the programming side of things part time. Thanks again!
