Actually, in order to CREATE the CDX from the memo field, requires the table to be OPEN. When error 114 occurs, one can NOT open the table.

So we are back to copying the cdx from another folder, which is really more like "RESTORE From Backup" than it is "REPAIR".

I can't believe with all the power of vfp8, one still can not simply "repair" a damaged INDEX file (without having to RESTORE from backup).

Wow. That is a moment of zen....
