File Fix


All Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions® for Windows® 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:

  1. 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.

  2. Select Run.

  3. Enter the drive letter and data directory where your Reporting to the MAX files are located, followed by FILEFIX.EXE.

  4. Example: C:\CMSWIN\FILEFIX.EXE

  5. Select OK.

  6.  

  7. Select the Company Code and Name you want to process from the drop-down list.

  8. Select the File Name you want to fix from the drop-down list.

  9. 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.

  10. Select the Make all of the text fields uppercase check box to make all text fields in the new files uppercase.

  11. Select Process to create the new files, or Close to exit.
