Patricia, 
I'm not a Foxpro person, but do recognize the kind of problem you have. I
did some searching , as did Darryl, and found a number of for a price
Repair tools.

I did find a thread on tek-tips that does try a command from the command
line prompt. Again, you may have tried this already.  It's the Open database
... validate message at the end of the thread.

Good luck.

in Access there is compact and repair
how do you fix a foxpro dbf that comes up saying it is corrupt and I
can't even view it.
 
we are trying to run a monthly update for the 1st time since the owner
left so this is a bit of a problem
 
Thanks
