Applogies if this appears twice. My last post
reported a rather vague error so I thought it
best to try again....
Pertinent info:
* Windows 98se
* RBASE 6.1a
* Newbie to the group (and I'm not an RBASE
programmer ... yet. I do work with several
other languages/development environments so,
I'm sure I'll learn fast.)
* Have inherited a legacy application to support
and original programmer is not available for
assistance.
Well, here goes.
The system actually seems to run ok but when
running an "Integrity Scan" (menu item of system)
here's what I'm getting:
-----------------------------
-ERROR- a row of data's length is too large
-ERROR- a row of data's previous pointer is out of range
-ERROR- a row of data's previous pointer is invalid
-ERROR- a row of data's next pointer is out of range
The last address encountered was not expected
The number of rows counted was not expected
AUTOCHK found errors in the database
-----------------------------
DBERROR.LOG states that the errors are
occurring in a (virtual?) table called
SYS_REPORTS. (Please forgive me if I don't
have all the terminology correct.)

Of course, I'm not asking anyone to support the
data system here... just clue me in as to what
may be wrong, guide me on what I may be able to
do to correct the problem, etc. Any help/guidance
is greatly appreciated.
Please forgive the long post.
Thanks in advance.
