I am not sure what happened, but I think it was a hard drive issue.  now my database is corrupt.  I used recovery and all seems fine.  I am reading that I should now use a back up database and import the new data.  I have 12 tables and this seems like a lot of work.<br />
<br />
1) Is it still the case that the recovered file could have errors in layouts and/or scripts?<br />
<br />
2) When I check for consistency of the crashed file, I get "23747 total blocks, 23747 processed blocks, 9 bad blocks."  What does this mean?<br />
<br />
Thank you again for any help that comes my way,<br />

<br />
However with all caveats in place here is a technique to print the found set or current record and account for the 'missing' labels so that the labels will shift to accommodate them.<br />
