Tom,
If this ever happens again - you "can" make a new pqsodlft.co all OK
by using the Field Order "utility" .. I don't know what I did wrong the
first time thru .. BUT, I corrupted the pqsodflt.co file again (on
purpose) - and then used the 2004 Field Order utility to make a NEW
pqsodflt.co file ... It worked all OK this time ...
Tom, I did NOTE though that you apparently CAN hit the ESC key
(which looks like it simply jumps from the "power" field backwards
thru each of the fields in that window - each time that you hit
the ESC key .. AND, if you STOP at the first field -- and exit the
window -- everything is still OK -- BUT, if you "keep hitting" the
ESC key thru another sequence of fields -- NO WAY!!! That is when the
corruption takes place..
BUT, at least we KNOW that you can make a new pqsodflt.co file
easily.. by simply using the Field Order utility from your Windows /
START/ DXbase2004 / Field Order //
Just wanted to share this further info with you.
