Sounds good. Do you think I should zip up the directory and upload so that person can download to work on? I am not against paying someone to fix it. Will allow remote access or send files. I really just want to get this back to normal. Thank you again for all your help.

The damaged .db file is sufficient.  
albeit if you have matching `.db-shm` and `.db-wal` files, include these as well.
