Uh-oh, my database just died!

Uh-oh, my database just died!
All was working fine. I added a few more links and performed "Build All," only to notice that an error arose at record 55. Here's the message it gives:

Updating New and Popular Records . . .
Warning: No date for line: 55|Washington St| | | | | | | |No|No| | |. Skipping..

I had about 330 links entered, and the last build was performed with no problems around 320 or 325. I don't know what suddenly happened.

I was able to get a different error message one of the times I tried rebuilding it, something about "database is zero bytes," but I can't duplicate it.

My last backup appears to be at about 294 links, so I imagine I could resort to that if need be (and try to remember what was added after that. Frown ). I don't recall seeing documentation on how exactly to do that, but I could be wrong. Do you just rename the backup file with a .db extension?

*edited... Never mind, I answered my own question about rebuilding from the backup. That step is easy. : Wink

Has anyone had similar problems? If so, can the backup be set to something more frequent than daily, i.e. every time you perform a build?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Dan
