Thanks Doug for the advise. BTW I saw a same filename but with extension RDE. Opening this using "USE" command and I can see a lot of records and now I'm checking whether these are the records that are corrupted with the user. Do u know what is the RDE extension file and how it got created? (BTW user is using Novell OS)

Regards.
