You need to go back to the beginning and tell us how you first started using ebase. In principle ...103CONVERTED files are not possible because theh 103 files are already in FMP5 format. The CONVERTED files result from the conversion of FMP4 files to FMP5 format.
If you are getting corrupted scripts it means that your files and at least recent backups are all corrupted. You need to go back until you find a set that are not corrupted. Since deletion is presumably a rare option that you may not have used until recently, it may be that you have no backups that are not corrupted as the corruption occured during your import process. I would export all your data from every file; delete all files with .10x on your machine. Start with a virgin set of .103 files and import your backed up data. When the imports are done you must reset the last serial number used in each file before you do anything that might attempt to add a record.
