Mark,
Download TUtility from Borland (Inprise, whatever) and run it against your
files. I would advise that you do a verify before fixing. I have found
that while this utility fixes the problem, it can cause records to be "lost"
from the database. It is best to restore from backups. This is
particularly important if you get "Blob has been modified" problems.
HTH.
