Thanks Albert,

They have RunTime. No packing going on.
I did as you said--- used an RB1 file from a couple of days earlier.
The one time you are glad your customer hasn't done a Reload and throw off the first/last rows in tables. A couple of temp files and my app file were stuck open even with no one in RBase.
Being a holiday, it looks like someone was "doing something" on the server with the data base open.

Did the client attempt to pack in place? This is a very dangerous procedure,
to be taken only in case of dire emergency. Reload is MUCH safer. If you are
in v7, your can put an ON BEFORE PACK file in there that will abort the PACK
before it even starts.

I expect you know how to recover from this using an older copy of the RB1
file.
