So you suspect an inconsistency within the DB? I mean: this DB contains quite some work. There's a backup of it in certain time frames (normally a yearly one at the least), but if such a problem could arrise, would you suggest that I dump it to pgn and reimport it? > another thing to try is to compact the base via the > maintenance menu, which may fix any index problem, if > there are any. This is done as I recently added the 2007 slice. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
