Hi Rich, With a one-off problem, it's hard to make any sort of diagnosis. "Theoetically," if it worked yesterday, and nothing has changed, it should work today... Some places that I might start to look involve answering questions like: Were the 2 new files properly created and copied (i.e., not somehow corrupt)? Is there a directory with a bajillion files in it, and these last two just pushed us over the edge? What is the .jdb file from Nov 5? Also, I recognize the value in using a "tried and true" system, but I have to point out that the TDS is up to version 4.3.15, and if an actual bug exists, we won't be able to back-port a fix to 4.2.10.
