>>>A client of ours has just reported that their application is coming up with errors when they start up saying name_of_table.dbf is corrupt.
>>>From what I see there is no quick fix for this and they are better off getting the files from back up.
>>>I was hoping someone could help me in understanding how tables get corrupt. I've seen them get corrupted when I copy them in the past.
