GM 5.7 corrupt index issues - rebuild = Permission denied 1

[alohav]

Hi all

just had an OS related crash while GM was open and am unable to resolve this on my own.

When trying to maintain the DB i get the following errors:

Index already exists.

Context: indexTable
C:\Program Files\GoldMine\GMBase\LookUp

BDE Error Cat:Code: [39:43]

Make sure that those tables actually exist in the folder as specified. If not, restore from a backup.

thanks dj

not really sure what you meant by tables but here is a feedback as to what files do exist or not:

the File: c:\program files\goldmine\charset.DBF exists in the folder.

C:\Program Files\GoldMine\GMBase\LookUp or
C:\Program Files\GoldMine\GMBase\XookUp folders do not exist
GMBase contains only files

and to my chagrin, no backup is available

You have a Permission Denied on the Charset table. Check you network permissions.

well DJ gotta hand it to you mate.

although i am using GM on a local install so no network settings applied, it appears on some GM folder/sub folders permissions got messed up in win 7.

so i modified those to allow the <username> more privileges and it re-indexed without a hitch.

you pointed me in the right direction, and i thank you for it.

never in a million years would it occur to me that permissions are an issue.
