This is the guy trying to sell you a script:

The way I learned to repair a database is:
· create a new database structure, empty
· then attach all records from the corrupted database (read them into the empty one)
· re-index
· check for integrity
· rename the old to whatever
· rename the new database to the one script is using

chriStop (2:02 PM) :
well I'm not into databse repair

GeorgeTH (2:05 PM) :
"well I'm not into databse repair"

but you claim to get paid $200/hour for programming???
This takes like 5-10 lines of code, and it's almost all automated!
All you have to do is create the empty database with all fieldnames, open this empty one in your program,
and tell it to read all records from the corrupted db and 'attach' them...

chriStop (2:05 PM) :
my programmer gets that, not me, I don't program anything

GeorgeTH (2:05 PM) :
It's not, like you try to claim, that you're talking to a complete idiot...

chriStop (2:05 PM) :
if thats all that needs to be done then do it yourself mr database expert

chriStop (2:06 PM) :
otherwise you get reinstalled

GeorgeTH (2:08 PM) :
I don't have the tools, never got anything told about the db structure, etc.

chriStop (2:18 PM) :
I've got 30 other people who have problems (that I've inherited) and you think I should drop everything to cater to you?
too bad for ya. had you been considerate of the fact that I just bought this script, or had you been considerate of the fact that I may have also inherited all of the problems with the script and not just yours, maybe you'd see my point of view and MY frustration.
But no, you go to GFY and *LIE* by saying Ive ignored your requests for support, when in fact there have been NO requests.
Well, thats YOUR fuckup, so the only option you now have is to be reinstalled with the latest copy of the script.

GeorgeTH (2:35 PM) :
there goes the 'all-honky-dory' with the script
