Here is something to try to repair the file --- Move the resizea00355 file to somewhere else and keep it for awhile.
With no users accessing the file run the UniVerse filepeek executable. Open a DOS command window and cd to the AR directory. Figure out where your uv account is and enter the pathname to uv followed by "\bin\filepeek HIST". You will see some information about the file. Enter RCL which will clear the active resize bits that were left set by the aborted resize. I'm assuming that you have already killed the resize process. If not, I would look for locks using "LIST.READU EVERY" and clear any locks that might be involved. If the resize is still hung, use task manager to kill the process prior to the filepeek step. Be very careful with filepeek! Hope this helps!
