You might try

http://www.dbf-recover.com.

This is not a personal recommenmdation, as I have never used them, but I know they have been around for a long time, and they advertise the service you are looking for.

Here's another possibility:

http://www.cmstory.com.

At a quick glance, I couldn't see any mention of DBF repair, but I have their bookmark in my "DBF Repair Tools" folder, so they might be worth following up.

I ran the store.dbf through a tool I have and it comes up with some stuff.

Are there character fields in a non-english form?

Do these columns mean anything to you?

I have spent a few minutes analysing the content of your dbf using a hex editor.

I can tell you there is some readable data in there, no header so the structure is not easily determined.

The records seem to be 219 bytes in length, but there seem to be places where other information has overwritten
the content and perhaps 'shifted' records back and/or forth.

If you have a back-up of the table, even empty, which has the structure there is a chance I could recover some
of the data, probably not all though.

Thanks for that, Mike. I must admit that I didn't look very closely at the site. I assumed the OP would do that.

I have tried as well, the table seems too damaged for that tool.

There is an header of dbf in this file.
version DBF dBASE Level 5
fields 20
length of record 219 bytes
original records 10063
but than records are not contignous
I have self hard created table without of index with 50 records to testing here are 2 starting records

SHO_R_K SHO_R_KC ..... COD_M ........... COD_TA COD_TAFZ MQDAR

Hi,

There are quite a few repair tools around - some of them even free. Just google "repair dbf".
