Subject Re: DBT files From Heinz Kesting <Nobody@Nowhere.com> Date Sat, 17 Feb 2018 22:17:12 +0100 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Bob, > Hi All:  Using DB2.8 w/WIN10.  When cleaning out old files, I made the   mistake of deleting my DBT files.  I am not a guru of remembering names, but one of you told me to recapture them from "garbage bin " which I did w/about 90% recovery. I guess it was me ... > Question:  How can I rebuild the missing ones. Looking at the DBF file I can see the contents that I would like to recover, but I don't have a clue "how". > Use the windows files explorer, go to the garbage bin in question (remember there are recylce bins for every drive), double click the recylcle folder which will open the folder and show all the files that are still there. By clicking on the header of the name's column you can arrange the files in alphabetical order, if not so by befault. Help yourself to the wanted DBT file, right click the file and select "Recover". Alternatively, there's a search field in the upper right corner, where you type in the file name of the DBF file to which you are looking for its corresponding DBT file. The files that are not found in here are gone for good to digital heaven already, only pretty professional software and technicians may be able to rescue them from being lost for ever. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best ... Kind regards, Heinz
