I'm a little confused on what the validate method in SDT does. Does it do the equivalent of Validate Database Recover (except actually fix the situation)? Sometimes my client blows all the indexes in a table (I think it happens during a crash - the database and the cdx are physically there but when you modi stru the dbf there are no index tags...) Since it happens at the client site, and since FOxpro doesn't support the Recover option within the runtime, this causes problems. I would like to add a button to my system to allow the user to perform the validate method, but I'm not sure exactly what it does... Thanks for the help/clarification.
