Hi -

Thanks for the quick reply!

Im trying to run 'db_recover -c' from the command line but having
problems... am I making a school boy error here?

Ive navigated to

E:\development\respository\db\

Then tried to run the comman db_recover -c but given the error that the name
specified is not recognised as na internal or....

Any thoughts?
