                                          | Sorry I have found out that the syntax of this is dbcc indexdefrag, I was using dbcc dbindexdefrag. Evidently SQL 2000 doesnt like the other syntax. |

                                          | dbcc indexdefrag isn't reindexing. dbcc dbreindex is. |

                                          | Sorry I should have restated that. I did mean indexdefrag rather than reindexing. My apologies. |
