Alfonso, It may not be all that bad, they store the documents PCB etc, as binary blocks within the ddb file, just for storage. If you would like to have a look the password is: Manteghulteir All the searching etc would be done in ram using there own system not using the jet engine. DX

Thanks to all who posted. I exported out all the files I needed and closed the DDB. I then reopened it successfully and I had lost about 3 hours work on the PCB, which I don't consider a serious loss. I haven't checked, but I assume I am working with a DDB that is about 5% of the size when it f

Just a quick update: 1. I have emptied the recycle bin. It only had 84KB in it. 2. I deleted about 4 earlier versions of the PCB in the DDB. My feeling now is that if it would save the DDB, it would now be down to less than 200MB. I am still getting the error. I have 64GB left on my drive.

Michael, Have you emptied the Trash within the database? Did you compact the database? To save your current PCB artwork you may need to export the PCB in PCB ASCII 2.8 format, then close your database with the compact while closing box ticked. Reopen the now compacted database and reimport you
