OK. . . I tried to isolate the c: prompt and then paste in the command you asked me to and it appears that I don't even have sql on the machine. That's weird since it should come with opencats install instructions. I am complete novice!
I tried something else (see attached) but that wasn't fruitful either.
I am at a loss as to how to repair/restore things so that my database will work. . . I hate to remove it and start over but frankly that is preferred to continued frustration, it is IMPARATIVE that I am able to use a database reliably - the very limited time I have to work needs to be highly productive for this single self-employed home schooling mother of a twice exceptional child, aging grandparents and disabled cousin to care for.
Is there anyone/anywhere else that might be able to help? I am just beside myself upset that this isn't working right. I am worried the data is going to be corrupted - a lot of work has gone into annotating my candidate records . . . I hate to lose that progress by starting completely over.
Any thoughts as to how to resolve the issues? it's having issues almost every request I make, a lot of "refreshing" and a lot of lost efforts.
Thanks for TRYING to help so far, I really DO appreciate it. Just really uncertain. I need a functioning database!
