I agree. dSalvage was a killer. However, for Visual FoxPro, we need to use something else. Xitech's FoxFix is really good. In fact, it will be part of my January presentation at the Montreal FoxPro User Group where I will present several 3rd party products. As for other tools, we have some in the Files section. So far, I was able to use those to fix my tables. But, I guess, to be better armed, I should consider starting using Xitech's FoxFix soon. :)
