Hi Cindy,

Let me back up a little. The corrupted file I had was an .scx file which has a corresponding .sct file. I had come back to modify the form (scx), the file that is corrupted, after saving it a few hours before. When I hit the modify button on the Project Manager I didn't get a response at all. I then press on the Run button and I got the "Not a table" error message (I was devastated). Someone had told me that scx files are actually dbf files. What I did was to make a copy of it and then renamed the extension of the scx file to dbf and the sct file I renamed fpt. I double clicked on the dbf file and I got the same message “Not a table”.

You suggested that I open up the dbf file with the HexEdit program. When I opened the dbf file with the HexEdit program all I got was bunch of zeros under the 0 – F columns and a bunch of little squares under the ‘Text’ column. I also tried opening the file as an scx file under the HexEdit program I get the same zeros and sqares. Does this mean that I lost this file for good? :(

I haven’t tried subtracting a 1 from the 4th byte because I don’t know which is the 4th byte. If you need me to, I can send the two file to you.

I hope you have some good new for me.

Thanks for your help and kindness,

Louis
