RE: HELP: Oracle Database Recovery Dilemma

Tried that, it did not work. What did work was to do a 'recover database until cancel using backup controlfile', which several people suggested. I applied the archive logs through to the last one I had, then issued a CANCEL command. After that I brought the database back online 'alter database open resetlogs', and it opened. I then yelled at the top of my lungs and scared several people in the room next door.

I wish to thank everyone who helped.
