"I’ve messed up my database.   I ran the DB Utility to repair the db.  The utility simply
says the MyTable.BLB file does not exist and then finishes.

Has anyone come up with a slick repair/recovery stragey for this issue? I am currently
just having to repair manually by copying in blank .blb files. I would adapt my code to do
this automatically if I knew how to identify a .dat that ought to have a .blb.

I have a user who deleted the offending AOL anti-spyware but the problem seems to persist.
He must have something else going on!!

All you need to do is copy over any blank .BLB file to the same root name as
the table name.  Of course, this might promptly get erased again due to the
anti-spyware software, so you might want to make sure that it is
disabled/removed first.
