Describe to me the symptoms. I.E..what error messages are you seeing when you run DSREPAIR, -672, -603, etc. Have you also checked external references for bad obits. Ran DSBROWSE maybe to remove them..first lock your DS then run it, that is. How bout running the following; SET DSTRACE=JANITOR Janitor is a really good combination of switches. I can help, but I need more info.
