>>>>First time I've seen this one. I have a FPW26 dbf that will not open. Error 1113 (VFP5) "File is not open" is returned after attempting to use the file. I suspect a corrupt cdx or fpt but FoxFix finds no errors with the file. I can open the file using FOPEN(). Any ideas? All help is appreciated.

I added an extra FLUSH prior to closing the tables. Further, Ed Rauh had a suggestion regarding the settings that I passed on to our net admin folks. Hadn't heard any problems recently. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what it entailed.

George,
My client was running Windows 3.11 on Novell 3.12. I think they re-booted the workstation because the re-index routine was "taking too long". I have made them a new sign. I also recovered the data. Most of the clients are running Novell Client 32. I will save this info in my knowledge base.
Thank you for the input, Randy
