database in a little forgotten foxpro

MagaliBaume

All my costly databases in FoxPro are reliable and they are stored on my computer, even no backups. Just today, I’ve opened Visual FoxPro 9 SP2 and of course, .dbf isn't opened. I've no idea what happened.

It might be this alternative method, but if you really can't understand how to repair dbf file, then see articles below...

 

Copy a valid memo file over the corrupt memo file to access the database again.

 

NOTE: The original memo field information will be lost unless the valid memo file was an exact backup of the corrupt file. All memo field backup files have an extension of .TBK.

 

The corrupt memo file will have an .FPT extension, such as OLD.FPT. In the following example, assume NEW.FPT is a valid memo file. To bypass the error message and access the database again, type the following command at the MS- DOS command prompt:

 

Copy new.fpt old.fpt
