Damaged tables

[LesW]

Hi everyone and I hope someone can help<br><br>I am running a bespoke database that is very old (Delphi Ver1 and Paradox 4 or 5 <br><br>My problem is that one of the tables is damaged and giving the error &quot;Corrupt table/index header/file c:\ etc....<br><br>Question :<br>Is there any repair utilities that would fix it or as a last resort can I export the data.<br><br>Thanks in anticipation

Table Repair utilities (TUtility) came with versions V4.5 and V5.0.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I remember correctly, it was dos based in V4.5 and in the system menu for V5.0<br>

Beware of using Tutility that came with R 4.5; it yas a bug in it.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the table you are checking has more than 15 fields in it, Tutility will damage the table even more!!!&nbsp;&nbsp;The solution for you is to try to make an ASCII-export of the damaged table (as a safety solution).&nbsp;&nbsp;Beware that Memos must be exported separately.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then you can try to split up a copy of the table with Restructure to seperate tables with no more than 15 field.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then you can try Tutility to recover the data.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a matter of trial and error tot recover a table with more than 15 fields.
