| 412910 | 2005-12-16 21:11:00 | Hi Ciccy It may be too late to help you with this one, but whenever you get into problems with a file, never work on the original. Always make copies and work on those. If the file name is critical to the operation, rename the original, i.e. email.dbx would become something like email.db1 while you play with the copy, which has to have the correct suffix if any programs are to recognise it. That way you can't make matters any worse. There is an old adage that goes along the lines of: "When he finds himself in a hole, a wise man stops digging." Cheers Billy 8-{) P.S. From memory DBX files can be read in text editors (I checked and can read them in ZTree) so keep the remains and if there is anything critical you need at a later date you can do a word search and find it. |

Thanks B,will give up on recovery,got precisely nowhere,don't understand the language. Had a go with ZTree,might as well be in Arabic. Have noted your warnings and will avoid playing with that which I don't understand. Till next time ;) |
