The problem has been fixed. Minutes after posting I did a Google search and
found this site and software. I downloaded and installed the program and my
card was back up and working perfect in a few seconds. I have added this
software to my collection. The FAQ on this sight has usefull information
as well.

You're welcome, and thanks for lesson on that utility. I had not heard
about anything like that before.

When I was having that problem with the Lexar card their tech support
people did not mention any utilities like that.

I had formatted the card that went bad a number of times before both on
PC's (using a FAT16 format) and also in the PDA and camera the card was
used in.
