Help! Unable to drop index or table.

Hi all, Hopefully someone might be able to help me here. Recently we restructured our database server to use a completely different disk layout. As ontape requires matching devices, I exported the schema and the contents of each table using 'unload', then successfully rebuilt and populated the database. I have now come across the following problem. We are using Excalibur, and one of the applications we are developing has an Excalibur index on a smart blob column. Upon trying to insert a row into this table, we received the follwing error: etxgl_set_lock: Index fragment currently locked by another user. As this is an application under development, I tried to drop the table in order to rebuild and reindex it. However, this gave me the follwing error: 214: Cannot remove file for table (informix.aps_files) 12097: Smart Blobs: open: Bad Smart Large Object address. Object may have bee The second message is truncated in DBAccess and does not appear in the finderr utility. My question is, is there any way to remove this index or table? Regards, Gareth -- coming soon... SPONG
