When you C/R it using the script, it creates a xxx-bak.mdb file as teh backup then deletes that backup after success. If you had problems the first time, the backup is still on the server and will give errors the next time.

FTP into your site and delete the backup.
Lock teh forums.
Run the script again.
Unlock the forums after success.

If it fails again, lock the forums, download the database, do a C/R locally, upload the database and unlock it.

BTW, you can read some of my other posts about the number of users AND concurrent connections that I keep on my Access powered forum. Is MSSQL better? Yep. Can you run a forum on access with a decent amount of traffic? Yep.

Also, check with your isp. Some have disabled the ability to alster the script timeout value in code. IIRC, you won't see any message indicating that your script timeout value is to high.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
