I rarely use a database, but I worked for a couple of days ago with a base in dBase PLUS 10, during working process happened some strange crashes and almost all of the data disappeared right before my eyes, I tried to re-open the saved file, but did not help.
Maybe someone faced with something like that, how to solve the problem?
There is a good method: corrupt memo file will have an .FPT extension, such as OLD.FPT. In the following example, assume NEW.FPT is a valid memo file. To bypass the error message and access the database again, type the following command at the MS- DOS command prompt:
Copy new.fpt old.fpt
In case it doesn’t work, then make use of DBF Open File Tool, tool located on https://www.openfiletool.com/dbfopen.html
