Hi We are getting the following error -209 Incompatible database format. An obsolete version of the database software built this database. Convert the database to work with the current software. Use the dbupdate utility. You will have to run it before you use the data. (This message is not current since Version 4.0.) This was after having deleted some files accidently, and restoring them from backup. Thanks in advance for any HELP ??!! Greg

What version of Informix are you running? If the dbupdate utility does not apply, try running UPDATE STATISTICS, if you can.
