I'm late on this too. Would it be possible to open in VFP9 normal mode and if errors then open in previous mode and reindex or something? Al
-----Original Message----- From: Alan Bourke For my money TableValidate highlights problems that earlier versions of Visual FoxPro wouldn't, so by turning it off you are ignoring valid problems with DBF headers that should be fixed. I think having Fox 2.x and VFP accessing the same tables is a bad idea too, but that's a separate issue. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/67CBDCF5315C47BB85F6E0E065CA29DB@gslredacer ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
