Memo corruption issues are never fun and rarely simple to correct. Any feel for when the corruption crept in? What is the state of your backups?

You really need to read the docs carefully for either tool when you are trying to repair or recover memo data. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Desmond Lloyd Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 1:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VFP6 Severe memo bloat No not at all...
