Why does MicroBase complain about my index file after packing?

If you mark all of the data items in your database for deletion and then Pack the database (creating an empty database), MicroBase v1.25 and earlier will sometimes report that the Index File Appears To Be Damaged. In this case, you will not be able to add any new records to the database. This problem was corrected in MicroBase v1.50. Until you have upgraded your MicroBase installation to v1.50 (or higher), you can work around this problem by running the MicroBase setup program and selecting the INSTALL option to overwrite your old MicroBase folder with the new installation. This will create a fresh new set of database files which contain several example data items.
