>What's the best way to fix a DBF file that's gone south (get a 'Not a table" message) .
There's some freeware things that might fix it.
I use FixFox from Xitech... make a backup copy before starting any repair.

If your table isn't too big; send it to repair@jassing.com and I'll take a look at it (compress it (dbf, fpt) w/o any cdx files)
