FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1108
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
The Recover command makes an aggressive attempt to reopen a damaged file. It is intended for
data recovery, not file repair. Do not use the Recover command as part of routine file maintenance.
FileMaker Pro attempts to recover as much of the information in a damaged file as possible, and
then creates a new, recovered file. The original file is not deleted or replaced.
Note Before you begin, be sure you have enough disk space for the recovered file. If there isn't
enough space, the recovered file won't be usable.
Example 1
Opens Invoices Backup, then attempts to recover the database if it is damaged.
Open File ["Invoices Backup"]
If [Get ( LastError ) = 807]
Recover File [No dialog; "Invoices Backup.fmp12"]
End If
