Larry, We no longer have that version on our machines, since there have been two upgrades since then. My only safe suggestion is to recover from your backup. If you had your .mdb file open and simulatneously overwrote it with an ADIF file, then there is no telling what condition the database will be in. It may be partially .mdb and partially ADIF in which case it's destroyed. If you were lucky enough to totally overwrite it with ADIF, then maybe you have a complete ADIF file in which case you could change the extension to .adi instead of .mdb and then view it in Wordpad to see what you have. If it is in tact, you might be able to use Non DXB import and import the ADIF file to a fresh ( empty ) DXbase database file.

I think I inadvertantly set my .mdb file to adif. When I start DXbase2003, I get the message "Unrecognized database format" Can anyone help me restore it back to its original format? I tried system restore on computer, but that didnt help. Thanks.
