Claudio,

This is the link that you have - below:

1. This will not fix the problem.
2. The tool that they refer to is specific.
3. If anybody gets the problem below, do not pay $195.00 for the privilige
of using it, I have a similar utility which is available Free of Charge.
4. All it is doing is patching the Database header page.
5. Claudio, you might want to remove the link :-)

Regards
Paul
