Does anyone know of a decent (and hopefully free) DBF repair tool?
Thanks,

Do you have a link to download the program?
The link you have is just an image.

Thanks Uwe, Sadly it wasn't able to fix it.
DBF Doctor does but for one file it's not worth the price :(
Thanks,

I use DBF Doctor because my clients sometimes have machines foul their DBF ... the cost is part of the service.

Can you send the broken DBF to my private email (and describe what is exactly the problem)?

Thanks Enrico but I was able to solve the issue. The customer actually had a backup of the file.
It was a weird issue, the info in the dbf had a bunch of hex looking data and the data that was correct was in the wrong fields.

I think I will end up buying dbf doctor as it was the only tool I tried that was able to do anything with the dbf.
Thanks,
Jeff Barnes
