Hi Tom,

Unfortunately, the first option didn't work.

At this point in time, I wasn't sure really what to do with the  
complete export import option.

I read the article you suggested, but I just didn't feel confident to  
use it.

I have exported a good back up copy of the table and then imported  
that back up into a newly created table.

There was only one form to copy over and now it works.

I removed the form from the old table so it would interfere with the  
new one, but of course, the old table still exists and an annoying  
reminder.

Thanks to yo and all who spent the time emailing me.

Warm regards,

Michael

PS.  Tom, If you wouldn't mind answering these questions ...
(1) How do you create a Log File of the Database. I've discovered that  
when I change the data file, I can't use it because the Log File  
doesn't match or something.
(2) When I fix an error via 4D Tools and the original data has a "-"  
at the end of the name while the new data has "-2" attached to the end  
of the file name.
How do I match the database with the new data created (as well as the  
log file as mentioned above)?
