FoxPro - Peter901 - Jun-25-2018

Hi to all,
Hoping someone here could help me. How do I deal with the dbf file error message 'Can't find a .dbf file'? It shows up for one dbf file but not others. Why does FoxPro gives me this pop up every time? Thanks very much in advance for all your help.

The complete scripts section is not for questions, so I've moved your thread. Please use this one (or whatever is appropriate) in the future.

Is this a Python question? Or a FoxPro question? I'm not familiar with much of what you've mentioned here (dbf file, FoxPro). I Googled a little bit, but could you provide some more context?

It's a Linux question, .dbf is a debian install (like a wheel) file.
This is a better place to post this question: http://forums.debian.net/

jumped the gun, it's a dbase file.
And this a foxpro forum: http://forum.gofoxpro.com/fp_forums/

That's a blast from the past. This is a python forum, you can PM me with your code and I will take a look at it.

To work around this problem, you can fix dbf file or copy the database but only one record(just pick a not recent record number at random; include “all”, I usually name this database “FixMMDD” (( month Day))
Open original database to mainscreen and append the FIXMMDD.dbf.
