    Groan.....
    I went to open an AutoCAD 2004 file that I was working on and I get a pop-up message:

    AutoCAD Error Aborting
    Internal Error
    !dbqspace.h@410:OutOfRange

    ... then AutoCAD closes

    and no - I didn't have a back-up:(

    HELP!

    All is well:)
    I managed to find it thru the File>Drawing Utilities>Recover command
    Interestingly, I couldn't do it the other way the help menu suggests - by renaming the .bak file as a .dwg file in Windows Explorer. I changed the name ok, but I couldn't get it to chamge type - ie to a .dwg file that I could open....

    .... and yes - I now have a back up!!;)
