Dezider, you can modify a table without opening the database (DBC). If you've changed the tags, then your DBC becomes invalid. Try opening the DBC before you do your ZAP & index procedure with OPEN DATA MyDBC EXCLUSIVE

That way you can be certain your modifications are reflected in the database. Can't hurt, might help.
