Catalog can't be repaired

[mistymorgan]

I had a message that Catalog was damaged and needed repair.  Ran repair.  Now says Catalog can not be repaired.  What does this mean and what do I do??

Using which Adobe product?

What application are you designing your catalog?

Can it be Adobe® InDesign?

Or Maybe Adobe® Illustrator?

What version are you using?

If this is a Lightroom question, LR makes regular backups of your Catalog.  You should be able to open one of those backups.

See Photoshop Lightroom

I am so sorry!  My computer has had issues and I couldn't get back in.  Thank you for the responses. 

It was a catalog in Lightroom.  Not sure what happened.  File was corrupted and wouldn't repair.  I had not backed up so that one is on me.  I did get someone from Adobe to try to repair it and he could not.  I guess I was one of those worst case situations!  But I have some new Back Ups in place now!!  I didn't loose originals thankfully just edits that had not been exported from LR.  So I guess my lesson learned is back up my LR!!

Thanks for all the help!!
