There is and should be a table called 'field.dbf' with associated FPT/CDX (it's metadata)
So I have datadict.dbc and field.dbf belongs to that. I can USE other tables in the same folder and DBC When I try to use that one now it's saying that the CDX is invalid, but it isn't because about LAN network users all have it open right now! It has to be permissions somehow - but everything including CACLS at the prompt is saying that group Everyone has Full Access.
