>>I have a table that when packing, I receive the error "invalid or missing memo file" I beleive the error number is 41. If I go into the table that is reporting this error, the Memo's seem to all be there (although I haven't checked every record). The table is part of a in a DBC and I can successfully reindex, I just can't pack without getting this error. Is there a way that anyone knows to recover this file? This is an extremely important table, and the beads of sweat fall on my keyboard at the thought of losing the memo file? Thanks for any help!!

Paul,

Fortunately I was able to fix the problem with this table by copy structure and appending records back into the table, but I will keep your product in mind. When the File server crahses it sure ruins the day!!
I'm sure this won't be the last time this happens. Thanks for your response and suggestion.

John
