What I do is this:

set tablevalidate to 0

set exclusive on

open database........

remove table ..... the one giving you trouble

use ...... that table

append blank

go bottom

delete (the blank record)

pack

use

rebuild the indexes

add table .....

Once added, remember to change the primary key from candidate to

primary, since it will be changed automatically to candidate when you

remove the table from the database
