I go to open bitcoin today and get this message  "Db::open: Invalid argument        bitcoin in Runaway exception"

The client doesnt open at all, The wallet.dat does not seem to be there either...?

Suggestion was to run using -detachdb option, but I dont know what that means or how to do it.

Can anyone help.

Your debug.log will help give more of a clue as to which file it is getting that error on.

You can run -detachdb during startup using the command line.
