Corrupt table/index header

I've heard a lot of corrupted paradox tables after the electricity fall
down, nad now I saw it in practice. The table is blocked, if I try to open
it from the program or from Database Desktop, I'm constantly getting the
message 'Corrupt table/index header'. I didn't succeed to open the table in
any way.
This time I had backup DB, but for the future - what is the procedure when
this happen?

Try to look at Pdxrbld utility at http://www.rksolution.cz , I use it for
rebuilding Paradox tables.

The best solution is to use:

Borland also offers a table repair utility (but it is not very good):

To avoid future problems as good as possible implement the tips on:
