Hi

I have a database related table that a client would like recovered
Trying to open it, the message is 'not a table'
Trying to run validate recover I get a message to the effect that is is not
a table do I want to remove it
I am not give the option to just remove the link to the db and free the
table.
I suspect it is just the header of the dbf that is damaged .

Is there nay hope for it at all?

Cheers
John

You don't mention what version you're using. If you're trying to open a
VFP table with FPW 2.6 you'll get that error.

Hi John,

Have a look at http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~NotATable~VFP for some ways
you can repair this table yourself.
