>I have a table with a corrupted CDX file. If I try to USE the table, it won't open because it needs the CDX file. Is there a way to open a table without its automatic CDX file, so I can reconstruct the indexes?


David, the process that works best for me to recover from corruption is to keep a good copy of all the tables with CDX files but no records. If I get corruption I follow this procedure:

1) Copy the corrupted table and its DBC to a SAVE directory.
2) Copy the good empty table with its CDX and FPT files to the working directory.
3) USE the good table and verify that it has no records.
4) APPEND from the the corrupted table.
