Hi Eric,

Sorry to respond to an old message but I didn't see any responses and I
am currently catching up on ~2 months of email..

Assuming you have not solved this, yet -- have you tried to use File ->
Save As to save it to a new database or an XML file?

That should at least get you going.  Another option is File -> Save As
to XML, delete your (SQL?) database, and then File -> Save As back to
the SQL database to get it to rebuild.

Hope this helps,
