When I browse through my database I get the error "Folder modules enum error: Invalid token. invalid request BLR at offset 139. there is no index PARENT for table DATA.". I also get a similar error mentioning the same issue with "no index PARENT for table DATA". It's been doing this since install. I tried a full re-install and it turned out the same. Does anyone have any idea whats going on here?

What is the main drive letter?

Not sure about PC-3000 but i have seen similar when a PC has decided to name the main OS drive something other than C: and certain software refuses to find even itself.

Long shot i know, but hey ...

The system drive is C:. This is also where the db is located. I can access the db in PC3000 but when I click on anything I get the above error message. I don't know a ton about databases but it reads like the db is corrupt or improperly formatted. I haven't the slightest clue how to go about testing that theory, let alone fixing it though.

DB corrupted - my best guess importing from bad resources
fixing it needs more knowledge in DB (as a DB) than anything else
firebird is so stupid when it comes to REPAIR

Depends on how big is your DB, the Scenario changes

but trust me, not easy, you might REPAIR IT, but will NEVER work as before.

good luck

Thanks for the responses. Doesn't sound good... time to make a new DB I suppose.
