(The only interesting size is around the 2GB mark; if it is less than that, or already much larger than that, then the size is of less relevance.) How do you know that the data in the file is corrupted and not the data in the database? Without that sort of information, there is nothing much anyone can do to help you. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
