My thanks to anyone who can assist me with this: We recently upgraded our network server to Novell Netware 6 and our "installer" copied the old data to the new drive. I am using 6.5++(1.862xRT03) We are running nightly back ups with Backup Exec version 9.
Since this happened we are getting some odd results. Previously I mentioned that we are getting what appears to be an error in a system table, most the descriptions for our tables, views and reports have become scrambled. Items appear with either the wrong description or with a message "#COM_ID=655..." (...=2 numbers). A couple list members graciously walked me through unloading and tracing the structure of our databases, and it didn't resolve anything. Now this weekend it seems that we have regressed to a former state and this has me pretty confused, I don't imagine it is an R:Base thing as I've not ever seen this before with it. BUT can someone help me put a finger on this please! Since January 1, 2003 we have changed about 1/4 of the people in our database (election cycle). Friday (3-28-03) we ran labels for commissioners and found that over 25 of the "removed" people were back and their replacements were gone. Additionally in another label run, the changes to about a dozen people and a couple of offices are undone and back to the pre-end of the year state. I have heard rumors that copying the database can "break" it, but I know nothing about this topic. I am building us a whole new creation in 7.0, But I need this version until I am finished. If anyone has had similar experiences, or if anyone has some clues that I can track down, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance Tom Eldred
