Jeff,

In my case these are new Fox 2.6 tables only populated using Gather of memory variables entered via a normal interface.

As I mentioned the delete mark is indicating they are deleted, but if you position yourself on the record then DELETED() indicates that they are not deleted.

But you raise the question of the Structure being corrupt...I'll check that too.

Any other ideas?

>This is reaching way back but... As I recall I had this occur when using Fox 2.6 with databases created with an earlier verion of fox. Recall didn't work. I seem to remember that I had to recreate the file structure, export the old file to text and do an append into the new file. Since I had several files to do I ended up writing a program to copy stru extended, create the file, get the index keys and recreate the indexes, etc.
