Subject Re: DBT file corrupt From Paul Nielsen <pnielsenz@cs.com> Date Tue, 23 Jun 2020 19:23:12 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Attachment(s) Error message.png Hi Ken, I came across this post when I had a bad DBT message in a production database. The program worked great to fix two errors which showed up in a database of about 43600 records. However, with dBASE10 there is an error message that shows up immediately after hitting the process button, which I have attached. I thought at first that this was because fixed.* is left in the dUFLP directory, but even when the three files are deleted, they reappear immediately when the program is run, and I get the same error message. Clicking on Ignore allows the program to continue to completion. I haven't tried just FixDBF7.prg, nor have I tried to determine the cause of the error. Maybe someone with more experience can find it. It takes about 5 minutes for a local scan of 43667 records in a DBF file of 12MB Anyway, the author Paul van House deserves a heartfelt thank you for the program, and you for the post.

Is it just an index of the dbf file for the memo field? A decade or more ago there were several programs that dealt with corrupt indexes...But it was for a level 5 dbf. Can I delete the records say for one before and 5 more after...Then insert blank for 5 records and then re-enter the data? > > Or will, once it reached the corrupt index, hang up or fail? > > In the dUFLP are two programs you might want to try, but you should back > up the tables first ... > > FixCorruption.wfm >    and > FixDBF7.prg > > (The dUFLP is a freeware library of code, see the signature block at the > bottom of my post ...) > > Ken > > > -- > *Ken Mayer* > Ken\'s dBASE Page: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase > The dUFLP: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/index.htm#duflp > dBASE Books: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Books/dBASEBooks.htm > dBASE Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm
