>Backlink is stored in table's header, and contains the relative path to the .dbc; if the dbc and dbf were created in the same directory, it's just something.dbc. Move your table to be in the same directory relative to the dbc and it will work - provided the table's structure wasn't changed meanwhile.

Each time a table is opened, its structure (fields and indexes) is compared with what dbc thinks it should be; any discrepancy and you can't open this table, unless you make it a free table (but then you've lost all the advanced dbc stuff).

Thanks Dragan, That helps clear things up.
