For unknown reasons a DBT file increased in volumes up to more than a giga byte; the normal size of the DBT file I use on my old DBIV program is around sono KB. It is an old program developed in the 90's. I wonder if there is any solution for resizing the corrupted file and eliminate those errors.
One thing to try as a starter:
First, back up the files -- the .DBF, .MDX and .DBT files.
Then in the dUFLP, is a file:
FixDBF7.prg
Try running that on the table.
Another possible solution:
use tablename excl
pack
use
This will remove deleted records, including anything associated in a
memo file.
