Jerney, I tested the drive with crystaldisk and it was indeed failing. I have now replaced it and transferred the important files over to the new drive. Unfortunately as far as TB is concerned, in the past I did not think my backup policy through. My setup with the database not on the OS drive but on the internal data drive meant I did not have any images to fall back on. I had set up backups twice weekly via scheduler but as they replace the prior files and tend to get quite big, basically I had only a week to go back. So the oldest backup was already slightly affected by the database corruption. I deleted TB from my OS, reinstalled and then used one of the backups. So for the most part everything works again but I do have one folder lost. I wish there was an easy way to archive old emails in a way that they are stored in a static way outside of the active program or database. -- Tom using TheBat! 4.2.33.9 on XP ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
