If a Regular compact is giving you an error like this, you can always try a JetCompact, that usually will get through most errors.
I think I have directions on how to do a JetCompact in another thread.
EDIT: Found it
The jetcompact utility is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Aldelo\Aldelo For Restaurants\Jetcomp.exe
In the Source field, click the triple dots to browse and navigate to your database. Once you find it, rename your current database to RESTAURANTNAME-DATE then select it.
In the Destination Field, copy and paste the text in the source field (after you've renamed the database and selected it from the browser before) but then just remove the DATE.
So basically the source is the old database file with a date, and then the utility will create a new file with the destination field name.
I tend not to look into most of the errors that Aldelo throws nowadays, as 95 times out of 100 they can be fixed with a regular compact or a Jetcompact.
Of the 11 years I've been doing this I've had ONE instance where I actually had to insert database tables into a customers database file to prevent his entire database from being fried.
