    Sometimes I cannot modify a table. I get two dialogs opening at the same time, when I trty to modify table? One is “Just a moment please… Reading the table definition and setting up … just a moment please. Then on top of the dialog, I get: Database Table Definition X Error number -2 reading in table definition

    Normally the only way you could get this error is if you had manipulated the content of the sysfields table by hand such that it
    can't find the index for the tableid plus the fieldname. In other words, the systables, sysfields, and sysfieldsext tables appear
    to be present, but the data is inconsistent.
