Totally unknown with DBase I have to repair an corrupt index (.mbx). Could someone please tell what to do??
 
Will REINDEX fix it? You must have the file open exclusively.

USE <tablename> EXCLUSIVE
REINDEX

If it is still corrupted, you may have to rebuild the master index (MDX). See my Dec 15 post in thread290-729294 but before you delete any index tags be sure to first DISPLAY STATUS when the file is open so you can view and record every index tag name and expression.

FAQ290-4606 may be helpful when trying to determine whether there is bad data in the table which can scramble index behavior.
