    Hi everyone!
    I have a database .dbf file in FoxPro. I can not open it. I think it can be corrupted.

    There's a repair function in vfp but so many years since I used it I can't actually remember what it is. I had to do hundreds of repairs for clients back when I had a program out that used it.

    Might be easier to just go to your last backup then

    Hi Duane
    If you have a valid and updated backup just restore that database file from it.
    Try DBF Repair Toolbox https://www.repairtoolbox.com/dbfrepair.html
    It will open your .dbf file and extract the data that can still be recovered.
    Good luck.

    Hey, on the advice of the previous commentator, a good website is not just used.

    Is this a Visual Foxpro file or an original dBase III+ file? I ask because I vaguely recall the repair is different. But, admittedly, it has been a while since I've worked with those environments.
