Bill,
I did as you suggested using by other drive to do the reload. After the reload I looked carefully at both the actual two databases and the TXT files you suggested I create. Both had the same views. No views were missing between the before and after load databases.

Jim, I'm assuming you have a "before" and an "after" copy of the database. * Connect to "before". * At R> Prompt, type these commands: * OUTPUT ViewsBefore.TXT * LIST VIEWS * OUTPUT SCREEN * (This gives you an alphabetical list of views from before the unload.) * Connect to "after". * At R> Prompt, type these commands: * OUTPUT ViewsAfter.TXT * LIST VIEWS * OUTPUT SCREEN In notepad or RBEdit or printed on paper, compare the lists of views. When you find a view that did not survive the RELOAD, connect to "before" again, and type: LIST VIEW missingviewname Study the SELECT command, after the FROM keyword, to find the views that are referenced. That views that are referenced are now in the after database (unless they, also referred to views, not just tables.), because your original load ran all the way to completion. While still connected to "Before", build a little file that recreates this view: OUTPUT viewname.VIE UNLOAD STRUCTURE FOR viewname OUTPUT SCREEN Use RBEdit to remove the CREATE SCHEMA command from viewname.vie (which will refer to the "before" database name) Connect to the "after" database, and run the viewname.VIE file. Repeat this process for each missing view in the after database, but save the VIE files. You can just run them again after the next reload. Bill
