[Dxbase] Country Database

Wed Nov 3 14:53:47 EDT 2010

Rick,
In the context of an MS Access 97 database structure, this is a catch all 
error generated by the DAO engine when it is unable to open or read portions 
of one or more of the tables within a particular database.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302498
In layman terms, your database is corrupted. Since there two .mdb databases 
used in DXbase, one if your QSO and statistics DB, the other is your 
reference database, I don't really know which one is generating the error. 
If you have backups, put them in. If not, try creating a new QSO database 
table using the steps described for when numeric statistics trouble occurs 
in the error section of the help file. If the problem persists, it might 
be your refdata.mdb is in trouble. If that's the case, you'll be the first 
user in 10 years to ever have this problem and I don't have any solutions in 
mind short of locating a working refdata.mdb database, but remember that 
refdata and your QSO database are tied together by the prefix values used in 
both and if you try to use a refdata.mdb that contains prefix data different 
than what is in your log, then you will still have problems.
