I have a problem where dbf files

Asked by zaahira turfa

Hi.!
I have a problem ...My dbf files show an incredibly large (not to mention completely impossible) size. Currently, the size reported if I do a listing is over 2 gig. This is obviously wrong since it is stored on a 1 gig drive.
Any ideas why this is happening or how can I fix it?
Thanks.

Hi,

I have no idea what a dbf file is. Are you sure that this is a question for the MadGraph project?

It seems that is not question for the MadGraph project
But i know whay is DBF :) I had the similiar problem with my dbf file..

Try opening the .dbf file in Excel or other program that supports opening the .dbf format.

Once opened in Excel you should be able to view the file, delete any "bad data", and resave to a new name (with the .dbf extension).

Also possible to create a new table with the structure of the old table, append records from the old to the new. May salvage records until the corruption is encountered.

Also this issue is discussed on these sites:
