- Delete the .PX file with DOS, then go back into Paradox and restructure the
- table, starring the field(s) to be indexed. Note: these kinds of
- corruptions, either easily recoverable as is this problem, or not
- recoverable, occur at times with all PC or network database products.
- Paradox has less frequent problems than most. A chief advantage of client-
- server systems, such as Microsoft SQL server, is that they guarantee data
- integrity and avoid such problems. -- David Scheim
