I need to fix a corrupted VFP database table. I suspect that the table header is corrupted. I have a questions:
I created a new table of the same structure using the following:
select DBF_EXIST
afields( aDbfStruct )
create table DBF_NEW free from array aDbfStruct
Then I scan the corrupted table and copy all fields to the new table. Then drop the existing table, and rename the new one.
But at the end the corruption is not fixed.
I thought that by creating a new table, VFP would create a new header and the problem would be fixed. Yet, it does not work that way.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
