Michael,

Thank you very much for answering my message post.  I found out that the
database was in fact corrupted and I was able to correct the solution by (1)
making a new database and importing the files or (2) compacting the original
database.  The message was originating because I believe the system didnt
actually see the database.

Thanks again for your time.  While unlikely, if there is anyy way that I can
help you, please dont hesitate to ask.  Best of luck to you.

Allen B
