Whoa! Stop the presses! A light dawns!DOS changes the name of Myisamchk.exe to Myisam~1.exe
Tried to run that and recd a reply that "This program can't be run in DOS. Went to Windows and a double click runs the program but made no changes in the original problem. However, the program ran without the sqitches "-r *.myi" so let me try to set up a shortcut to that program in which I can add the switches to the command line.
Will report back.....
