I tried all kinda of things to try to repair the database, I had 6 different backups of it, and wasn't able to get any to work. I also compared a couple of the backup databases to a new one that I had calibre create, and it looks identical. I tried exporting data only and importing it into the new, but it would get errors.. Finally I gave up and tried the reccomended Save to Disk option, with my older version of Calibre that would still read the database. Then I imported them into a new Database. That worked, though it's short about 100 books, but it's better than loosing everything.

Thanks for your help, and again sorry about my flame's, I was just getting really frustrated with it.
