Are you really talking about OPEN DATABASE and not a DBF?

open database mydbc exclusive
validate database recover

If that works, start opening all the tables. The one that give the error is the one you need to delete the CDX for. If it is the database you can not open, delete the MyDBC.DCX file. Then open the database exclusively again and do another validate database recover to rebuild the DBC's index file.
