Detecting database corruption...?

Post by Michael_Nelson_(Guest) » Fri May 14, 2004 11:56 am

Hi!____I was wondering if it is somehow possible to use R&R to detect corruption in VFP tables. Maybe to some how test each field from each record for characters outside of the legal range...? For example, a letter in a numeric field? Any ideas?____Thanks!__Michael

R&R will likely return either ***^s or an error reading database if it encounters a problematic fox table. So it would let you know that something is wrong but it would not isolate the particular row or field that was in error.____Kathleen__R&R Support
