Corrupt data

On top of that, after the database has been opened once with the
LiveCode application, when you open it with vStudio it claims all the
tables are missing (database file is still the same size).  Running
the database diagnose utility finds that problems are found
(obviously) but scrolling through the 3000 line report and absolutely
everything is "all right" so it won't say what the problem is. The
vServer log wasn't much help and there doesn't seem to be a Valentina
log for LiveCode like there is with MacOS. Running re-index doesn't
solve it but cloning the database and re-opening it does solve it
(until you open it with the LiveCode application again).
