Internal Consistency Error

[John Cosmas]

I'm trying to connect to a free table DBF, and I keep getting an internal
consistency error and VFP 6 just hangs. Do I need to perform a repair, and
if so how do I go about it.

Hi John Cosmas:

Trying to connect? What code are you using? Can you simply open the table
with a USE command?

Does this table have a index file (CDX or IDX)?

Can you open another free table? If the table in question is not too large,
try importing it into Excel and then saving it as a DBF file. The open the
new DBF file.

I hope this helps.

John,
I'd also ask what Service Pack version you are running? SP #5 was the latest one
and it's still available in the Visual Studio area.

I am running SP5. I can see these tables now. Thanks.
