I tried all that, didn't work. I did take inspiration from what you said about packing(Cleanup Project). I opened the DBC as a table and packed it and presto....works. I had noticed it hanging on the DBC file on the progress when building, when I took the database from the project it built clean, worthless, but clean:). Put the database in a new project, hang. Thanks for your response, it got me on the right path.

This has the effect of clearing out all compiled code stored in the OBJECT field in the PJX, which forces a Compile All on the next build. You could also just check that box for Compile All. If all else fails, you could save a backup of the existing project, open it up as a table and replace all OBJECT with "", then close it, open the project and build it. Other than that, all I can suggest is to just start over with a new project file from scratch...
