John W Van Dyke 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2014 Hi, When I try to run "Optimize", it starts until it gets to "Event File". At that point I get "File 'c:\...\the master genealogist v9\projects\my van dyke-smith project_dbf' does not exist". 482 REINDEXDATASETS. Then I have the choice of "Abort", "Retry" and "Ignore". If this is telling me my current data is corrupt, how will I know how far back will I have to go to get a good backup? Thanks, In Advance, John Brewer, Maine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no answer to your question. You just need to try the backups in reverse chronological order. I would think that the last backup without the issue would work. If this is a specific data table (which the message should identify), it can likely be fixed with some data loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
