Here is a link for some MMC tools: http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/suwe/ There are two programs on this site: one for reading a Siemens MMC with an ordinairy card reader, and one for writing. Reading will generate an image file, which can be read by the writing tool. All you need now is someone who can make you an image of the same MMC card using the same CPU. Then you can write this image file back to your own MMC card. Did you never use the card in an other type of CPU? Because if the hardware configuration stored on the card doesn't match the CPU type you are using it on, you also get this problem.

If the structure online differs from the structure offline, it won't be possible to upload a DB without loosing the symbolics. So before you make adjustments to a DB's structure, first upload the actual values, then make your adjustments, and download. However, it is still possible to monitor the actual values using a VAT table.
