I think I know what the problem may be. I can't open the database exclusively to validate the database. This is why it might be saying there is a problem in the table contact.dbf. Do you know why I might not be able to open a database exclusive? Here is the code I am using...

open database cord excl
validate database recover

I then get an error message saying that the database must be opened exclusively. I thought I did that with the first line of code?

I think if I get this figured out the rebuild.prg will work.

Thanks,
Tyler
