Jim: As you mentioned, bring in your backup copy of the database, and use
the right-click "unload" function in the form section of the database
explorer. This will create 2 files with the name of your form, a .frm and a
.lob. Then you open up your current copy of the database and at the r> prompt
simply:
RUN yourfilename.FRM
If the .frm and .lob aren't in the current database directory, just include
where it is: RUN c:\olddirectory\yourfilename.FRM
The file will automatically delete the current version of the form and then
bring in from the backup.
You will want to make sure that SET NULL -0- is the setting both when
you unload the form from your backup, and when you bring it in. That's all
there is to it!
