Downloading File

[Bonnie]

I cannot get My Database (964kb) off of a 3 1/2 floppy.
When I try and send it to my documents I get a Cyclic
Redundancy Error. And when I try to upload it as an
attachment, the file cannot be uploaded, it asks me if
the file is open in another application, which it is not.

The disk is damaged, probably irretrievably, and your database has
almost surely been destroyed. Unless you have another backup somewhere
I suspect you're out of luck.

You can try reading it on a differnt diskette drive (it *might*, if
you're very lucky, be a misaligned head on the drive), but most likely
it's toast. :-{(
