Re: Oooh, I think I did a bad thing....

Hi again everybody,  

First, I want to thank everybody for their help. This is the most input I've ever gotten from a those on a newsgroup, and I very much appreciate it.

All of the suggestions have been very similar to this:

The problem I'm having is that Oracle will not even mount the database. If I can't mount it, I can't do anything to it. Is there something else I'm overlooking ??

Thanks!
