Hello Jerome, >>I had to do a hard shut down of my computer due to a freeze. When I >>rebooted and tried to open PM again I got the message... >> >>"Can't open the index file" > >Rebuild the search index from the File / Database menu (and not from the >First Aid window).
That did it! I had assumed that the two 'Rebuild Index' actions did the same thing. Now I am wondering what the difference is between 'Rebuild Sort Indices' and 'Rebuild Index', also between 'Compact Mail, Address and Settings Databases' and 'Compact Database'.
