Hi - our server went down last week while I was importing a bunch of records into ebase and damaged the names and payments files.  I went to the ebase website and printed the procedures for recovering damaged files.
 
I got as far as goint into Explorer and renaming the damaged names database (step 2) and when I hit ok, it changed the icons on all the ebase files from a windows-like icon to a filemaker file icon and dropped part of the name and the .102 extensions.  However, when you go to properties, it still says they are 102 files.  I am not a Windows expert and don't know why it did this when I was only changing the name on one files and what it means - will ebase/filemaker still recognize and make the necessary relationships?  Or do I need to do something to change the files back? 
 
Bob at Techrocks indicated to me that he thinks I will need to re-install ebase and the files - I am hoping someone can help me avoid this!
 
I didn't want to go any further with the recovery process or open ebase until I got more information.  I have only been using ebase a couple months - I did speak to the person who previously was in our office and she never had something like this happen when attempting a recovery. 
 
Thanks.
