"File already open" error when reindexing
Hi, dbmark. I neglected to mention in my first posting that this app is written in dBASE IV. I don't remember (I wrote that app in the early 90s) whether this version of dBASE supports UDFs, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. It's been years since I did any work in dBASE.- orechet

"File already open" error when reindexing
Thx, dbmark. Rebuilding the mdx didn't do the trick, so I'm guessing the problem is some rogue character in the table, as you proposed. The problem is, there are over 8,000 records, and I don't know how to go about looking for that character. It's been over ten years since I was a dBASE...- orechet

"File already open" error when reindexing
I have a corrupt mdx file that refuses to get reindexed. I deleted it, created a new one, and I still get the same error whenever I try to reindex or pack: "File already open." Any suggestion for a fix will be grately appreciated. Thx.- orechet
