Well, based on my experience, I would guess that you used some tool to
rename the database, that doesn't handle the database internal
structure for it's own name.  I just did a test to see if I could
duplicate the problem.  I altered the file codes to 0 for the database,
renamed the database, reset the file codes correctly and then used
Query to try to read it:

PASSWORD = >>
MODE = >>1
