Dear Buddy,
Thanks for the tips. I was able to run chkdsk /R and recover the problem. Your solution would have been next and I am sure it would have solved most of my problem.

Copy your database to another folder. Copy the RB1 file only from the backup to the copied database. From the R:Prompt R:>RBSYNC databaseName EXECUTE CONN databaseName RELOAD newDatabaseName CONN newDatabaseName If everything works just check your tables for missing data.

Also make sure you only have 1 instance of Rbase running. Then, try this from the R> Disconnect Set Multi On Connect dbname (dbname is the name of your database) Mike -------------- Original message from "Herman Kuszmerski" <[email protected]>: -------------- Mike, Checked the properties but no problem. They are all checked correctly and nothing is "read only" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J.

The bottom choice is "Properties". Left click on "Properties". Another window will pop up. The bottom choice will be "Attributes" with 2 boxes called Read Only and Hidden. Uncheck both of them. Also, you will see a button called "Advanced". Click it. Make sure the top 2 boxes are checked, and the bottom 2 boxes are unchecked.

I do not see a properties tab. Herman -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J.

Hope that helps.

Anything I can do? I don't know what "7" means. Herman
