This will work as long as all your forms are not compressed: browse all from sys_forms3 where #4 contains 'yourtablename' When you get the list, go to the sys_data column, double-click on it, and then search for your table Karen In a message dated 11/8/2012 9:34:46 AM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: I'm using Rbase 7.6 for Windows. > >I deleted a bunch of old tables, reports and forms from our database.
