You can usually open these files in dBase III, it's less pick than FPro,
then append a record and delete it. The problem is probably that the
record count is off from the actual # of records. DBIII doesn't care,
but FP does. The append/delete will fix the record count.
If this is something that happens alot, you might consider getting dSalvage
from ComTech ($200, 1-800-456-7005). It really does a good job of fixing
corrupt DBF's.
