>My client's server(2003 Small Business Server) crashed over the weekend and apparently the Active Directory Services had to be rebuilt (as opposed to restored.) Since that time, data for the VFP application can't be accessed through the application or directly with VFP 9, nor can QuickBooks data be opened through the application. The error message from VFP is "...dbf is not a table." The VFP data is in free tables, none of which were open when the server crashed at 2 am. I must admit I'm not sure what to look for. I started thread# 1212155 on this topic thinking that the tables had somehow become corrupt but none of the repair utilities have worked thus far (haven't spent $500 for Stonefield yet...) Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place? Has anyone seen this before or have info about Active Directory that could shed light on the problem?

I think you should look for backup. Whatever caused AD corruption, corrupted VFP tables and QuickBooks files also. In such cases the data gets overwritten with zeros or some other unrelated info because of, most likely, hardware or network problems.
