hi pats,

I have a huge problem in my Dbase Plus 9. Some days ago something occurred with my dbase file, I saw a msg: End of table encountered. I opened it again, error repeated. Please, any variants how to restore damage dbf file.

Is this one of those threads where the TS chimes back in a couple days later with a link to some product that magically fixed up his db file?

Looks like they have switched from xcel to dbase to fool us. I will bet the next link is legit. ;)

I didn't know dbase still existed. Is it the same as the one produced by Ashton Tate?

Check the size of the file(s). If it's significantly smaller than you're expecting, then stop what you're doing, turn the computer off and consult with a data recovery service to see if they can recover the file before it was truncated. Other than that, try to find a Dbase expert, which I am not.
