Ben,
I'm not from what you describe whether you can actually connect to the db but,
if you can, have you tried simply doing a backup or reload? Sometimes it works -
you might lose a few rows but but I usually find that it's easier to fix those
few rows than struggle with repairing the original db.
Good luck
Alastair.

Subject: How to fix old 2.11 file1??
Hi all,
This is one for the old timers... I have a customer using an old
2.11 app while waiting for their windows re-write. Discovered today
that file 1 is corrupt; their most recent "good" back-up is 60+ days
old. RScope described the file length settings for the #2 and 3#
as wrong and what they actually are, but correcting those numbers
didn't help. I also tried using the #1 file from the good backup with
no luck.
One completed module of the windows re-write maintains a large
part of the old dos DB, to the extent that if I could get two tables
restored from the Dos DB we could recover w/o to much pain.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben Petersen
