hi,
One of my important dbf file is not showing any data in the browse mode. I am using VFP 6. When the file is opened in the browse mode no errors occur. In the status bar, "EOF/86441" is shown. 145MB file size is shown in the Windows Explorer. Reindexing didn't help. I tried to import the copy of the file in MS Access & MS Excel also. In Access only the structure gets copied. Excel gives errors saying unrecognised format. Creating a text file also didn't help. Can anybody please help me ?

Thanks.
Steve
 
See "Corrupt tables (very urgent)" from 31.march
 
Steve:

It's also possible that all the records have been "deleted" and SET DELETED is ON. That would show the same symptoms that you describe. Try typing in SET DELETED OFF and do the browse again.

Also a Steve.
