<DIV><FONT size=2>Sorry. I was more than a little flustered on Friday and forgot
a few details.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I know about and have run the DDB repair function to no avail.
(Yes there are interesting things lurking behind many of these standard menus
:)) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Protel gives me a little message indicating that the DDB was
successfully repaired but the problem with opening remains.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have not seen any message

<DIV><FONT size=2>I just now have tried to create a new DDB from scratch as you

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>If I reply with Ignore the system continues for

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I'd be happy to get the system back to the way
it was before I started fiddling - Gerber errors and all!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=791200421-08092000><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial
size=2>You didn't say which SP you have, but some prior version cannot open
read-only versions of a DDB. The result is the message you see. SP5, can
open them but it warns you that the file is read only. I learned about this
after checking stuff into sourcesafe and leaving a read-only version on my
drive.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you generate a new empty ddb, can you save it, and then re-open it

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Why do these things happen when you are trying to get
work out urgently?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I had a problem this morning when generating Gerbers
for a new design. Protel threw up an ODBC error while generating the
Gerber for the Top Overlay. After referring back to a series of posts in
June, I downloaded an update to the ODBC drivers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>After installing this update I rebooted the system and
restarted Protel. It now refuses to open my DDBs saying instead that the
information requested will have to be imported into a new DDB. If I say
OK it generates a new EMPTY DDB.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>My files are stored in Access format. The one DDB that
I have stored in Windows File System format (experimenting with the
format) opens correctly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>System is Celeron 433 + Win98</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
