Hi Helen,

I executed gstat and the Attribute line gives me this:

Attributes single-user maintenance

I think it is a flag that got "stuck". Using flame rocbin I can access
the database file, but I can't do backup to restore it and recover the
data. Only flame robin can access no other software does.

Is there a way to set the attribute manually?
