[Dxbase] problem with DXB2006

[Jack]

Alan,

I don't know what you mean when you say, " unable to initialize files"? 
What happens?

My guess is that you select the "initialize tables" routine from the main 
DXbase menu and you get some kind of a error indication about statistics? 
If that is true, then you probably have a corrupted statistics table in your 
database .mdb file.

To correct this condition, refer to the help file under the contents tab for 
"error messages", "entry not found in numeric statistics".  Essentially 
you'll be creating a new empty QSO database, then using DXB Import, you'll 
import the data from your old .mdb into the newly created one.  Afterwards, 
you'll use the new one and discard the old one and you'll intialize tables 
to get your statistics back.

Regards,
Jack
