How do you know the file is damaged? Are you getting an error message, and if so, what is it? There are quite a few different ways that files can be damaged, most of which result from hardware events occurring while the file is being written to. Jeff Fitzgerald Fitzgerald Long, Inc.

That's an interesting one - don't see that too much. When buffers are freed up and released from the overflow chain of a group they are linked into a chain of free pages that are available within the file. Then when a group needs to add a new overflow buffer it can obtain one, if available, from
