Hi All;

Like me are getting this error when working with DBF files, a very
simple solution.

respects

have a nice days.

Error :

**********************************************************************
******

Bus error or misaligned data access. Press OK to ignore data and risk
data corruption. Press
Cancel to kill the program.

**********************************************************************
******

Solution :

Check the length of the field name in DBF files. (Max. Field length =
10 chars).
Note : usually exceeds the maximum value of the length of the field
name automatically when creating DBF file.
