Have you run analyze.exe on your database?

I think you mean "names.dat", right? Here's a quote from a previous post:

I would change your command line to analyze the whole database instead of
just names.dat. I'm not sure, but I don't think it's possible to repair
names.dat that way. Try the following command line:

analyze -C -D -f -v4 d:\ss\data

This will analyze the entire database and should rebuild names.dat
properly. If it fails, ( about 1 % of the time the corruption is too severe
to repair ) you can call Product Support and we can usually fix this by
hand. Let me know how it goes.
