Perform these actions to resolve this issue:
First, you may look at:- http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/databases/databases-aa/dbase-iv-clipper-foxpro/429-how-can-i-open-corrupted-dbf-file-via-ms-foxpro - this forum oriented to all users from novices to profs, there is not a problem to ask easy questions here, because there are a lot them, otherwise you can find similar trouble to yours.
As alternative method, look at steps below:
You need to create an environment under which the table is NOT validated when it is opened. This can be achieved by the command -SET TABLEVALIDATE TO 0. Now you can easily open your tables.
These are some “Prevention Steps” to prevent your data from corruption:
Try to put a code in your program that automatically creates a duplicate copy of your tables (columns & rows), index files and databases.
Set-up a back-up routine.
Inform the user to properly shutdown the computer and regularly perform back-up.
Use UPS for power back-up.
