This time it was line #77 of the DBCXMgr.oSDTMgr.GetDBFStructure(). I believe the tables it crashed on are also free tables. I'm not sure what the difference is between the data set that worked and the ones that didn't.

I think one major difference between the data sets is that the good one was new and the bad ones had been through previous attempts at upgrading. It seems that some of the files are damaged ("Not a table") but the Repair utility couldn't fix them. Is there any way I can fix them?

Thanks,
