🔒 Closed Database can't be opened

Our main issue in office during some last days is a database in dBase PLUS 10. We cannot open it, cause of unknown problem Table Rotw.dbf has become corrupted. We asked for help to other departments of our company, but they couldn't help us.

Copy a valid memo file over the corrupt memo file to access the database again.

NOTE: The original memo field information will be lost unless the valid memo file was an exact backup of the corrupt file. All memo field backup files have an extension of .TBK.

The 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
