Damaged Database
"...gromst.d1 has a different last-opened date (606)"
"...probable backup/restore error..(605)"
"...Db is damaged. Use prostrct unlock to regain access...(1486)"

This will either appear at login or browsing the gromst.lg file.

Here's the fix...

** Make sure that \GMT is in the DOS path.
** Leave Grocerymaster and choose Disk Opertating System. (DOS)
** Change to the GMT\DB directory : CD GMT\DB [hit Enter]

type: set dlc=c:\gmt [hit enter]

type: _dbutil prostrct unlock gromst.db

You should see something similar to the following messages as the database is repaired:

Inconsistency: gromst last opened Tues Aug 09 21:45:48 1994
\gmt\gromst.d1 last opened Wed Aug 10 06:11:42 1994

Inconsistency: gromst last opened Tues Aug 09 21:45:48 1994
\gmt\gromst.d4 last opened Wed Aug 10 06:11:42 1994

Inconsistency: gromst last opened Tues Aug 09 21:45:48 1994
\gmt\gromst.d5 last opened Wed Aug 10 06:11:42 1994
3 inconsistencies fixed

Then just log back in to GM and hit the spacebar and all should be well.
