My best guess is that you copied the database while it was open & in use, so causing some mild corruption. In vX the database access is handled differently to v2001 - all the database access is carried out by a background Daemon (a faceless routine running silently & invisibly all the time). This is one of the ways they improved stability of the database in vX, The daemon will hold the database open, especially if notifications is on. Just before you copy, run this applescript: Tell app "Microsoft database Daemon" to quit The database daemon will then quit gracefully (writing out the file buffer, if it has one) and leave the database intact. Then when you copy it it should not need rebuilding. -- Barry Wainwright <http://www.barryw.net> Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
