Joe and all,
Access Maintainer 97 is okay with DXbase.
The statement is true about Do not use this program with
Access 97 replica databases. is a true statement, but DXbase is
not a "replica database. That is another animal. I have used Access
Maintainer 97 many times with no problems. There are other repair,
compress utilities for DXbase also, but this one is excellent.
