HI gazzag,

Apologises for not getting back to you sooner. I believe I may confusing the issue here. What I am aiming to do is to re-create the database on another host without having to use the use the original 'target' database which is no longer available i.e. the host server motherboard had fried!

I know I should have a standby in place but lets just say for all intents and purposes that the host for the standby was also unavailable (flood damage!), I was hoping that my original restore procedure would be able to re-create the database on a brand new host.

I am quite surprise that this does not seem to be the case.
