Claudine -
There are a couple more options:
1. Find a backup copy of the rb1 file from before the corruption occurred.
(NOTE: this will not work if you have made any structural changes to the
database since the date/time on the rb1 file.) Copy the rb1 file into your
working folder, replacing the existing rb1 file. Now, do a reload on the
database and see if that helps.
2. Unload all for each of your database tables separately like:
SET NULL -0-
OUTPUT IHopeThisWorks.str
UNLOAD str
OUTPUT SCREEN
OUTPUT IHopeThisWorks.dta
UNLOAD DATA
OUTPUT SCREEN
Then, RBEDIT IHopeThisWorks.str and search for "CREATE VIEW".
Split this file into two files - everything ABOVE the first CREATE VIEW
statement into IHopeThisWorks1.str, and everything from the first CREATE
VIEW to the end of the file as IHopeThisWorks2.str.
Then, RBEDIT IHopeThisWorks.dta and search for SYS_Layouts and delete the
whole LOAD section for that table.
Then, get rid of the original database or rename it to something else.
SET MESS ON
SET ERROR MESS ON
TRACE IHopeThisWorks1.str
--If no errors then
RUN IHopeThisWorks.dta
--If no errors then
TRACE IHopeThisWorks2.str
If that still doesn't work, then I still have one more way up my sleeve so
post another question here....
Good luck!

corruption
Javier and Bernie,
I have now reloaded the last 4 complete backup files created with unload all
and every single one reports the 'data' error in RScope for the sys_layouts3
table.
I also tried deleting both records in sys_layouts3 and RScope reports no
corruption. However, Access Violation messages continue and db is unusable.
(how do you spell seperately?) separately. And that's a good idea. I'm
going to do that now...
