hello
strange issue. Im not able to open the pbxi file, error message below
Feedback Type:
Frown (Error)
Error Message:
Database consistency checks (DBCC) failed while checking the '[Hierarchy for column Transaction History ID (211)]' hierarchy.
Database consistency checks (DBCC) failed while checking the 'Transaction History ID (211)' column.
Database consistency checks (DBCC) failed while checking the 'Transaction History (19)' table.
Database consistency checks (DBCC) failed while checking the '7498aae9-3352-4c6b-8ac0-72a765525ba7' database.
I have a previous version of the file I can redo my work in, however there is some useful work which I have done in this version of the file, which I would very much like to get back from this file which now seems to have this problem. After I completed my changes in this now corrupted file I was able to complete the refresh and save the file ok. Now on opening it throws this error!
