[Dxbase] problem

Tue Nov 2 09:13:45 EST 2004

First off, I don't know how you set your .mdb file .adif unless you manually changed the 
file suffix.
Unless you did an Export and inadvertently gave it the name with an .aid suffix.
And secondly System restore does not work on normal data files.....usually.
And thirdly, it's been two updates since DXB2003.
It's hard to suggest not seeing more info.
But save the file to a safe place.
Then use the default database that's installed when you first installed DXB2003
And use the Option from the DXBase Program Group called DXBImport.
This will import a DXB2003 log into a NEW DXB2003 log and correct any corrupted data which 
MAY be the cause of your error message.
Good luck.
remember...it's not 'if' you will loose your data...it's 'when'.
backup, backup, backup......

Hello all -
My problem is this.
I think I inadvertantly set my .mdb file to adif.
When I start DXbase2003, I get the message "Unrecognized database format"
Can anyone help me restore it back to its original format?
I tried system restore on computer, but that didnt help.
Thanks.
