[Dxbase] Unable to open DXBase 2007

Pete,
Sorry to say, but sounds like to me you told DXbase to create an ADIF output
file named n4kw.mdb. So, it did and the result being that your original
file was erased. I think you will need to resort to a backup, or perhaps
use a Windows restore point.

Subject: [Dxbase] Unable to open DXBase 2007
I think I might have done what I have long dreaded. I was reading and
working through how to generate an ADIF file.
I was in selection wizard. I had just checked the Qso records and looked
into the window that gave file name "C:\program files\scientific
solutions\dxbase 2007" I could not see how it would know that I wanted an
ADIF file of my log db.
so I typed "\n4kw.mdb" and then said start. I received a message saying it
could not start as the file was corrupt.
So I closed DXBase and tried to reopen it. The window with the file name etc
came up and I clicked ok, got the same message that DXBase could not be
opened as the file was corrupt.
I closed it down and went to the DXBase 2007 folder using explorer. Looked
at my N4KW.mdb and it says it has a 2kb size to it. I have Qsos in that
data base dating back to 1957 and I have a very sinking feeling that I some
how just lost my entire data base. I need help and not sure what next to
try. Suggestions would be much appreciated. My OS is Windows XP.
