We have been using LR for a year now, and today suddenly it says "The lightroom catalog is corrupt and cannot be used or backed up until it is repaired".

If I repair it, I end up with nothing, 10,000 edits are gone.
Then, I went to a backup from last week. SAME ERROR!
Then I went to a backup from 2 weeks ago, SAME ERROR!

This isn't funny. My wife has put in over 16 hours a day for about 12 months working on projects and now it is totally lost?

Please tell me what to try next.
 
Hi Kayla, yes, sure.

Hi Victoria I have spent the better half of the day trying to repair my sister-in-laws lightroom catalog is there any way I could send it your way for some professional assistance. it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time.
 
That's fine dlkay1994 (and welcome to the forum!) however I should note my usual catalog repair contact at Adobe is away on vacation until 3 September, so there's likely to be a delay in returning it.
