The answer is not stupid Reymund. Based on the message "file is not a table", high possibility is that the CDX is corrupted. Try it first before whining. If message is "table is not a database", then most likely the header is corrupted and you need a utility for repair, filefix or whatsoever.

>it is very easy to recreate cdx but if the header file of .dbf was corrupted you can no longer retrieved the records. So that is all about my question! is there any way to recover the corrupted .dbf.
