1. As I said in an earlier email, I had a computer crash, with the help of people from this list I got my "main" database restored. I'm now trying to restore some smaller secondary databases but I get the following error message: CODEBASE ERROR error# -210 error# 94003 unrecognized field name d4field number SORTORDER I then click OK and get error# -935 error# 94001 null input parameter unexpected d4 field It then exists the program. Any help? 2. What is the simplist, easiest way to backup and then be able to restore (in case you lost your data) a database?
