Stephen,

In that case it is either a DBC error or a table index error.

For Table error (cdx corruption) take a backup first then copy an old CDX over the existing one. Then run open exclusive and reindex.

For DBC error you can try the "database validate" command or the same thing as above (which is extreme) but using the .dcx database index

Then do a database validate

That first line throws the error.

Use Shipments

Error has something to do with corrupted index or dbc corruption.
