DBFCDX/1056 Error (invalid memo file format)
Hi All
I got the DBFCDX/1056 Error (invalid memo file format) when I tried to open a DBF file which also have a corresponding FPT File.
I am already adding RDDSYS.PRG in my project which contains :-
ANNOUNCE RDDSYS
REQUEST _DBF
REQUEST DBFCDX
REQUEST DBFFPT
Where have I gone wrong ?

Hi CCH,
There is a solution for this. Please download CDBF for Windows, from
http://www.whitetown.com. It's a shareware (most probably developed with Delphi!!!)
Now try to open Employee.dbf (most probably it will open)
Then save it in another name.
Now try to open it with HMG.
Regards.

Hi Esgici,
BTW, downloaded your MultiMsg program. It's excellent. It's idea will be very helpful in real life development

Moreover, CDBF is extremely helpful to open corrupted VFP files (VFP tables are got damaged frequently!!!).esgici wrote:Wow !sudip wrote: ...download CDBF for Windows, ...

Hi Esgici/Sudip
The fact that employee.chc/fpt could easily be opened by
a) Dos-based CDXDBU.exe
b) Delphi +Apollo VCL
c) Whitetown DBF utility
and yet unable to be opened by DBFCDX,DBFFPT makes one wonder whether Harbour support for DBFCDX/DBFFPT is complete ?
What do you think of this issue ?

IMHO, HMG (and VFP also) opens the table by looking table header. (There is a detailed discussion in Rick Spense's famous Clipper Programming Guede, 2nd edition, Page 535). So, if there is anything uncommon in header, there will be a problem.
I never used CDXDBU and Delphi+Apollo VCL. So I can't tell you exactly how they open/save tables. May be during save one byte value is changed!!!
I used CDBF. It is not fully compatible with DBF. For example I don't know how it handles indexes. IMHO, it uses Set based functions to work with dbf files.
Have you checked the hex values of header of FPT file with CDBF and compare it with the same table created with DBU/DBA?
BTW, have you saved your Employee.dbf file in another name then tried to open with HMG ?
My friend, can you send me one copy of your dbf, cdx and fpt files in my personal mail also. So that I can test
With best regards.
