FIRST flush the databases, THEN delete the file. But in order to be sure that this works 100% of the time, you must eliminate the possibility that someone could hit a template calling that database in the instant between flushing and deleting. The easiest way is to quit Webstar entirely (plugin) or Webstar and the Webcat ACGI, then delete the database file, replace it with a backup, then start Webstar. But I suspect that there is something else causing your problem. It makes more sense that the most recent backup copy is actually the culprit. It could have a problem with column order or a nasty character of some sort. It doesn't show up until Webcat makes it's first attempt to load it, at which point it chokes on the problem in the file. This makes the most sense since this is only happening to one of your databases and it's always the same backup copy that gets corrupted.Mike ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
