Re: Question regarding EDS

I've had a few edita.edb that were corrupt beyond recovery.
I assume db_compress fails, but essentially what that does internally is pretty much the best you can do: read what you can and create a new file.
If, as you say, there are apparently 32,654 tables, you may fare better with a bespoke program that reads the dozen-or-so tables that should exist and does not try to copy the 32,6nn that are gibberish.
Ultimately you have no choice but to delete the corrupt taa.edb - and be thankful this sort of thing does not happen very often.

Pete
