Deleting Data Woes

I have an administrator that corrupted a FoxPro DB in a program that used it. I need to delete the data and reindex it, but do not have FoxPro. Is there any other way to delete this data and reindex it safely? The DB has 200Mb of data in it currently.

I wouldn't delete the data if I were you....unless you were planning on restoring it from a backup, but then you could restore the index files as well. What we use here when a dbf gets corrupted is a product called FoxFix ( They have several versions that work with the different versions of foxpro.

It works at least 95% of the time for us here. [spidey] [americanflag] [unclesam]
