After getting your hands on the original file, I do recommend that you
use IBFirstAid Diagnostician
(http://www.ib-aid.com/option,com_content/view,article/id,54/Itemid,57/)
to help determine where the errors might be in the database. And, we
did use this tool with one of our customers in the past and helped us
to determine the cause of the corruption and we did purchase
FBFirstAid to correct the corruption(which it did). And they do
mention that not all corruptions are fixable with the tool, but it's
very possible that the errors that you are describing are fixable with
FBFirstAid. But, first download Diagnostician to see what are the
problems with the database(it's free).
