>>>I'm assuming that you received this message in FPW 2.6. There are two possible causes, one being that the header is corrupted and the other being that the number of records in the header doesn't match the number of physicla records. Try opening the screen as a table in VFP 5.0. If you can open it, the it means that the latter is the problem. In this instance, simply copy the screen file back from VFP as type FOX2X. If you can't the header has become corrupted. In this case, a product like Refox can regenerate the screen from the generated source code.

I was able to copy the file successfully but I keep getting a program error when I try to run the screen. I can open the .scx file as a table but not a screen in fpw 2.6.
