Files and Data: Checking, Recovery and Locks

How do I verify the file 'ORDER' in application 'AAA', database 'DDD'?

Obtain APPXUTIL.EXE from our FTP site, and put it in the same directory containing APPX.EXE

Open a DOS box on the NT or Windows 95 machine containing the data files. While it is possible to verify data files across the network, it is most time-efficient to run the verification on the actual machine (server) on which the data files are located.

"cd" to the directory containing the files - for example, if my APPX data files were stored in C:\APPX\DATA, and I wanted to verify the file named above, I would:

c: cd \APPX\DATA\DDD\AAA\Data Run "appxutil -v=filename.dat" - for example, for the scenario described in this section, type: appxutil -v=ORDER.dat
