Jernej, I only tried this on the problematic folder (POP) but as mentioned got stuck. I just tried to do "just" compacting and purge and while this runs through quickly on other folders (even large ones), the problematic folder again has the same issue. The green bar goes to the right to about 90% quickly and then moves very slowly only. Eventually it failed with an alert: "cannot compress the folder xxx. Stream rea error " E\TheBat....messages.tbb" The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error". My active database is on another internal drive to be separate from my OS drive and reading about the error, there are some references to hardware or drivers. What I don't understand however is that it only affects one particular folder. If I were to move the active database to my OS drive via options/preferences/system, would that create everything automatically? I remember I did that once before but would need to look up the procedure for it. Also, if the folder is corrupted, would I have the same issues again? -- Tom using TheBat! 4.2.33.9 on XP ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
