Validate Error: No table is open in current work area (Open Window appears after clicking Validate)

If you click on the Validate Records button and that produces an Open window looking for a .dbf file and canceling that window results in this error,
form1.addcolumns line 177
error 52
no table is open in current work area


This could mean you have a damaged or corrupted field.dbf and field.fpt files.

Exit AccuZIP6 and download http://www.accuzip.com/files/forum/fields.zip and extract it into the C:\Program Files\AccuZIP6 5.0\Support folder, replacing the existing files of the same name.

This could also mean you're importing a .dbf file into AccuZIP6 that contains a Numeric type field, and that Numeric type field has a width of over 20 characters. The AccuZIP6 database can have a numeric field be up to 20 characters, so to quickly remedy the issue, pull down the Edit menu to Fields and change the width to 20 or less. Click OK and click Yes, and you'll be able to validate again.

If you have a Numeric type field with over 20 characters and you try to export, you'll get an Illegal Field Length error when attempting to export.

You will also get this error if you have a Company, Address, Address2, City, St or Zip field with a length of 0.

I wanted to take a minute to write accolades for your employee Eric Lambeth. I have been calling on Eric for training and help in the Accuzip software since May and I want you to know that from a client standpoint, he is second to none! Eric has gone way above and beyond in helping me learn and navigate your software as well as helping us through some crazy situations we have encountered. It is clearly evident that he knows this software inside and out. It is also evident that Eric loves the customer and is willing to do whatever it takes to help – he has even answered emails and called me on the weekend to help through some stuff I was unsure of! I cannot express enough how wonderful Eric has been for our organization. I will tell you that I came to this organization with a background in BCC software with plans to transition to BCC software. Eric’s knowledge, guidance, training, and willingness to help at all hours of the day/week has sold me on Accuzip! Your software solution is more user friendly and the support staff far exceeds BCC! I am also looking forward to investigating your other software solutions.
