All kinds of problems,       and I tried about everything I knew at the time to fix it. Turns out it had       a couple dozen records farkled near the middle of the table.              I wound up deleting them manually, verifying/repairing, then adding into a       new structure. Only then was the data completely usable.              --       ------------------------------        Tony McGuire              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
