Naomi,

That is just what I was looking into. I added a table to the database today, but I don't think there have been any changes over the last week or so. We do daily network backups onto tape. So, I should be able to restore the DBC and DCT files. I guess the DCX will be recreated automatically. Are there any other files that I need to restore?

Thanks again,
Jim
