Laurie, Copy the str file and open it up in a new directory the open it with Dataperfect (recreating the txx and ind files as prompted) and try to load the current file as you have done on the current large databse. If this works without a problem then you probably are dealing with database size issues. If so, and this is a critical database, I would make a copy of the old database for historical info and fabricate a working copy with pertinant info. Pertinant info means data necessary. Historical data is neat to store but unneccessary if not used.
