Thanks!
It is messy, because the database has plenty of references to the table, and the table has a backreference to the database name. If it were me, and lacking anything else more insightful, I'd try: 0) close VFP, do all of this outside of VFP 1) backup both table and db files (duh) 2) rename database "Quack" to "Moo" (move quack.dbc moo.dbc; move quack.dbt moo.dbt; etc) 3) open table.dbf in a hexeditor and search for the backreference to quack.dbf (should be in the headers somewhere). Change to moo.dbf, terminating with chr(0)'s. 4) open VFP and try opening the database and table.
