Even if "SET TABLVALIDATE" could get you open the tables inside the DBC,
you still need to re-create the "corrupted" tables with the right indexes.

Stonefield is not a repair tool, and it's ability to fix things is
rudimentary at best. Recover by Abri, OTOH, is a real repair tool and can
fix most anything that will go wrong. www.abri.com.

If you are talking about Foxpro "database", the .DBC/.DCT/.DCX
the index file is the .DCX one. You can simply delete that and
Foxpro will generate a new one when you start up.

If the .DBC/.DCT is corrupt, just get a copy of a good backup one
and replace them with that. They don't change except by the programmer.

If you are actually talking about Foxpro tables .DBF/.FPT/.CDX
then you may need a copy of our repair tool.

I know little about DBF files of any sort but I have compiled a list of
freeware that can be used to repair them (I've compiled a list of
freeware to repair many kinds of software files). I must admit I have
not worked much with DBF files.

I have an automated system that I've been testing out...

send an email with the corrupted database & get it back (hopefully) repaired....

if you want to try it -- zip up the dbf (or dbf & fpt) and send to

Most of freeware and even a lot of the new DBF fixers flooding the
market recently can only detect and repair simple header problems.

Foxpro DBF and memo files, even if they open properly, can have hidden
corruption that can cause problems later. Would you take your Honda
car to "Advanced repair shop" that only detects/fixes common problems
like sparkplugs? With data critical to enduser, proper error detection
and repair is important.

Foxpro, Dbase and Foxbase are very popular database management programs, used by the individuals to store structured information. Database records are maintained by these programs in DBF files. Likewise another files, DBF files often become corrupt due to several factors like intrusion of malicious virus, crash of window server, hard disk errors and errors in portable storage media. The Kernel recovery for DBF should be used to retrieve data from the inaccessible or damaged DBF files. The utility performs deep scan of the system to find the all DBF files.
