//Hello Martin,//

Okay, that sounds like a hardware/driver issue. Probably some data got damaged
at that point.

 MF> - Fired up WinPoint and clicked on the "Reports" folder in the message

 MF> - Clicked the "Ok" button to dismiss the popup and noticed that the

 MF> Every time I click the "Reports" folder, I get the "Access Violation"
 MF> popup and an empty message list but having looked in the messagebase
 MF> directory, the "Reports" message base files are actually there.

 MF> How do I recover the situation?

Make a backup of the files related to the report area. Use that old message
base doctor (probably still does the job) to repair the files. If that does
not work, just delete the files (and loose all those reports).

Regards,
Tim
