Sorry about the previous topic listing I accidently hit the send message button without finishing.
I have a backup copy of my database on a CD . My Problem is that I noticed when I tryed to reload my database from the backup CD one of my important data tables was missing (set_area_table.dbf)and my main menu table was missing (invoice.menu).
A rundown of the tables and sets that make up my database are as follows:
customer.dbf
invoice_header.dbf
invoice_items.dbf
set_area_table.dbf (dimmed)
invoice_menu.dbf (dimmed)
invoice.set(consist of all above tables except invoice_menu)
set_area.set(contains all tables except invoice_menu)
My problem is that I want to be able to recreate my set_area_table.dbf file so as all my forms , layouts , browses that are associated with this table can be loaded and I can edit (so everything is back to normal).
All my forms ,layouts etc. are displayed but my set_area_table is dimmed. I tryed to find the file in the directory indicated but it was'nt there.
I need to know if I can make a new set_area_table by filling out a structure chart to the best of my knowledge (field names, field type etc) so as I can open forms ,layouts associated with this table to the point that I can at least get error messages that I can fix after looking at the trace menu or something. I see all my forms , layouts etc in the control panel but I can't load any of them until i create my set_area_table again because of many of my forms and layouts including my 2 sets needing it. Also, what is the best way to edit this database without interuppting all the working parts? Should I work from the CD, from the hardisk, make a copy of the database etc?
One more thing, when I worked from the CD and created a new set_area_table structure the program would'nt let me save the file because i received an error msg box that
