yes, it was the database (dbc) file that I could not open.
I deleted the dcx file and then it let me open it just fine, now i can see all of my views again, weird.
the first time you told me to use erase the dcx file, this time I just found it and deleted it, is the erase supposed to delete the file or just erase the content?
Anyway, I found which view was giving me trouble.
Thanks a lot for helping me out.
