DBF Header Record Count FiX (DBFHRCFX.EXE)
Short and sweet...
Occasionally dBASE format file headers can become corrupted because of
unexpected system failures. If the record count in the header shows more
records than are physically there, FOXPRO2 refuses to even recognize the
file as a database file. Unless you feel like monkeying around with a HEX
file editor and a calculator there is no fix offered by Fox.
This program does one simple thing. It restores the record count in the DBF
file header to a true count allowing FOXPRO to open the file and recover
data. If you ever see the error message "Not a database file" from FOXPRO
when you know this is not the case, try this program with the command line:
DBFHRCFX filename
Substitute your file name for "filename" with no extension and that's it.
It goes without saying that you MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR FILE FIRST!
This program is FREE for all to use as they see fit EXCEPT for those
ShareWare authors who have been trying to nickel and dime everyone to death
with charges for trivial little programs like this one. If you are such a
ShareWare author send me $1000.00 and you can use this program.
