here is the error message.
- arnel_gpNov 24, 2021Iron Contributorthe db is already corrupt, so Don't ever try decompiling!
it will do much damage than good.
you need to re-instate your backup db.- isladogsNov 24, 2021MVPAny kind or repair carries a risk including compacting and decompiling. For that reason you should ALWAYS make a backup first.
However, I totally disagree with the comment that decompiling 'will do more damage than good'.
Decompiling will remove any corruption in your compilation code.
If that was the problem, it will be successful ...
...or if there is a different problem then it will have no effect
