>Hope you can help. I had an external hard drive fail and used some file recovery software to successfully retreive a local table that I was working on. The table looks to have been restored properly because it has a large file size. However VFP can't open the table as it states "Not a table".

Hi Steven,

The size of the table is not an indication of succesfull restoration. It may just be filled with zeros or random data. You should examine it with a hex editor to see if there'is any usefull data there. Check also http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~TableCorruptionRepairTools
