Corrupt Model File

Corrupt Model File

Corrupt Model File

(OP)
I have a problem with a model file. When I open an existing model file I get the error message "The shadow file previously associated to this database file cannot be accessed." The model file does not open. I replaced the *.mf2 file with a new *.mf2 file with no luck.

Is there anything else we can do about that? Any help is appreciated.

RE: Corrupt Model File

Try running idfvfy on the model file:

Idfvfy.cmd -v c:\temp\model_files\modelfile.mf1

If it's showing errors, try the following:

(Make a backup of the model file before doing this)

Idfvfy.cmd –p c:\temp\model_files\modelfile.mf1 0 5 0

Check for errors again:

Idfvfy.cmd -v c:\temp\model_files\modelfile.mf1
