expanding DB problem

stuarth

I was running navision 3.01 in single mode, when trying to expand the database from 15Gb to 20Gb. Then, just as it stated to expand the database, the system gave me an, “Error in module 19” type error, and I had to end the navsion task in order to exist/continue.

Now the Operation system sees the DB as a 20 Gb file, but when i try to login it gives me the following error:

"The length of the database file(recorded in the file itself) is deferent from the from the length recorded by the operation system....."

I am running windows XP professional and had plenty of Hdd space left over(20Gb)

It seems the header information in the file has been corrupted some how.

Is there any way to fix this?

Short of sending the database to Navision Support (Microsoft) there is not a way to fix this. I had a customer with the same issue a few months ago. Microsoft said they could attempt to recover the database but could not promise results. They would charge a fee regardless of results.

Our customer restored their last backup. (previous night).

Thanks for the quick response….

Unfortunately restoring from a previous backup is not an option, as it had just finished importing data constantly for 5 days, and I’m trying to avoid restating the process.

I have been using Navision for 3 years and have never had a problem expanding the DB before….Guess it serves me right for not backing up the DB before expanding…AAAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh … da boss ain’t gonna be pleased ](*,)
