>I was running Gendbc and received an error that one of the remote views was open. After the gendbc program stopped I was unable to open my database with the open database syntax (I get "File xxx.dbc is not a database"). I can "use" the database with no problems.

It's a shot in the dark, but how about creating a new, empty database, PACKing that new database, then pulling in the records from the corrupt one? Could be that the structure got hosed. Of course, if that's the case, you stand a good chance of having the "repair" not work.
