get a room, god dammit.

actually... i know this is odd, but have you tried using a default database?

create a new store, and let actinic populate the database.

overwrite the contents of your old db into it. not tables, but rows. it'll not take long.

Gabe - the live database will not allow me access - if I try to open into Access I get an AOIndex error and it refuses to open. All other sites on the same installation work fine.

[gabrielcrowe]

mount the db in openoffice base?

email it to me and i'll see if i can restore it for j00.

Thanks for the offer Gabe - tried into OpenOffice and it also cried.

I made a management decision and dragged a known working copy of the database from an old ACD into the site1 folder, opened the last corrupted copy of Actinic on remote desktop and simply went through copy and pasting between the 2 version of the Actinic. Site is now allowing me to add sections, add products and also upload

Imagine my horror 30 minutes later (literally) when an email landed from Actinic support with the "fixed" database enough to make lesser mortals cry. "Thankfully" support still had not fixed the database! Not wanting to go for a 3rd time lucky with support and my database I have canceled the support ticket.

I now have more backups of the working site than humanly possible.

Thanks again to everyone on the forum for their ideas and suggestions in trying to get the database fixed. It was even beyond the combined efforts of the forum - when I kill something I do it properly

Maybe you should stop fannying around and give the MiL the same treatment. In fact send her off to support and tell em you don't want it fixed.

LOL - the more I read that the funnier it gets
