Default How do I recover a deleted database? - 07-04-2003 , 01:59 PM






Hi all,
I have somehow deleted all the records in a .dbf file using Lotus
Approach, while joining databases. The database I want to recover, still has
all the data in it if I open it with Notepad, but I noticed that; if a file
was marked as deleted it is preceded by an asterisk (*) if viewed in
notepad. I tried deleting all the asterisks but, it didn't work.

Any idea's

I believe you need to replace the asterisks with a space. There is more
information at http://www.xpertss.com
