File
Fix
All Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions® for
Windows®
for the Reporting to the MAX
products now feature a File Fix program. File Fix is a utility program designed
to fix certain data corruption errors. The File Fix utility copies selected files to a
subdirectory of your data directory, creating a new file and copying all undeleted records
to the new file.
File Fix can perform the
following functions:
Create new files without an index. This is useful if
you wish to open the files using another program.
Delete duplicate records. This feature saves the
first duplicate record located, and deletes the rest.
Make all text fields uppercase. This is especially
useful if you are using Data Exchange or converting from Peachtree® .
File Fix does not fix corrupted database files. If the
header record is severely corrupted, you must resort to restoring from a backup.
Warning: Always back up your data files prior to running File Fix.
To run File Fix:
Select the Start button from the taskbar at
the bottom of the screen, or if you are using Windows 3.1x, select the File menu.
Select Run.
Enter the drive letter and data directory where your
Reporting to the MAX files are located, followed by FILEFIX.EXE.
Example: C:\CMSWIN\FILEFIX.EXE
Select OK.
Select the Company Code and Name you want to process from the
drop-down list.
Select the File Name you want to fix from the drop-down list.
Select the Do not make new index check box to create the new
files without an index. Not creating the index prevents the deletion of duplicate records
during the copy process.
Select the Make all of the text fields uppercase check box to
make all text fields in the new files uppercase.
Select Process to create the new files, or Close to exit.
