Table Disabled

Table Disabled
Sat, 05 Apr 2008 11:50:39 -050
I am using dBASE Plus 2.61.3.  I was wondering if anyone knows how to track down
an error that causes the message "Access to Table Disable Because of
Previous Error."  This error message is not preceded by any other error
message.  After it occurs, the user needs to shut down the app because edits are
not saved.  It is frustrating because there is no real clue given as to what is
prompting the error.
Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.

Thank you

Maybe a complex index on a timestamp value, as for example:

	index on dtos(dtod(<MyTimestampField>))

Brian,

I have always found that to be a sign of a corrupt table or index 
(usually index). Try reindexing the table(s) concerned:

use yourTable exclusive
reindex
