>>i have a database with about 50 tables, i am trying to modify a field in the table, however i get a 'DBC internal consistency error' every time i do this.
>>i have already done the following
>>
>>>A) removed the table and put it back
>>>B) validated the database

I GET THIS PROBLEM ONE TIME, TRY THIS.

CLOSE ALL YOUR PROJECTS IF OPEN

FROM COMMAND WINDOW TYPE Set EXCLU ON

OPEN YOUR DATA WITH EXCLU ACCESS: OPEN DATA DATA_NAME EXCLU

ISSUE VALI DATA

CHECK FOR TABLE NAME THAT HAVE MISSING FIELD/NOT MATCH ON YOUR DBC

IF YOU FIND THE TABLE REMOVE FROM YOUR DBC

VALIDATE YOUR DATA AGAIN

DELETE THE REMOVED TABLE'S INDEXES IF HAVE

ADD THE NEEDED FIELDS YOU WANT TO THE REMOVED TABLE FROM YOUR DBC

RE-CREATE THE REMOVE TABLES INDEX

REINDEX THE REMOVE TABLE

ADD THE TABLE TO YOUR DATABASE CONTAINER AGAIN

VALIDATE YOUR DBC AGAIN

This is the process I did to my Database Container when I received the same as yours..

I hope you can make it....
