Be VERY concerned - you have database corruption, from the message you must be running OnLine but I cannot tell whcih version. Look at the oncheck command for version 6 and above, the tbcheck command for below version 6. Run all the -c group of options. Don't wait - DO IT NOW. If these cannot fix it you will have to restore your database from backups. -- David Williams
