Subject Re: Error opening a table From Mustansir Ghor <mustan31@hotmail.com> Date Mon, 12 Feb 2018 14:29:39 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Dear Mervyn The problem was of production index of pharm.mdx. Actually pharm.dbf was encrypted and later I decrypted. So when I was opening a decrypted p:pharm.dbf its was associating with encrypted pharm.mdx file an thereby giving error on opening.
