First, what error are you getting? Once you get the error, you can determine what needs to be done to fix the file. For example, if you are getting a status 2, a rebuild of the file should fix it. If you are getting a different error, you need to post it.

If you've lost records after a power failure, those records are most likely gone as they weren't written to disk.
If you've got a backup with those records, you should restore from backup. If you don't have a backup, you'll need to recreate the records.

ok thanks
but how to insert all those record lost if i can not insert in the interval lost just in the end of file
and if you can tell me wich software can do it.
software edit and browse btrieve data.
thanks

The software you use is the software that's generating the Btrieve files. Btrieve files do not keep any structure or field information so there's no generic browse/edit software.

It may be a problem with the page allocation table. I've seen a database that did not report an error but lost the records. I don't like to leave my email address here but visit

http://www.nssdd.com

if you want and send me an email with the file from there I'll take a look.

Thanks,
Gil
