>Okay, yes, I will experiment copying some files over rather than all the files, that's a good idea, thanks. Also, I will run Stonefield on the experimental copy to recover what I can. We are well below the limit of number of records. The last thing I need advice on now is: What is the limit in FPW for a .DBF file? 1GB or 2GB? The documentation says one thing in the chart and another in a footnote on the same page. Do you know? I may post it as a new question.

I don't have the documentation, but I seem to remember a footnote or something stating a 1GB limit if non-structural indexes were used on a table.
I know that I had several FPD databases in 2.5, 2.6 that were 2GB in size with only .CDX files (and .FPTs) involved.
