Hi Cassandra, first of all please call me Vlad, I'm not that old .... it would really help if you could upload a copy of your db, especially if you don"t yet have any confidential info in it. To do that you can first go to the Database Tools tab of the ribbon and select Compact and Repair, then close it , zip it and upload it by clicking the Go Advanced button in the forum and Manage Attachments.
Cheers,
