Laurie,

Pack permanently removes all records marked for deleteion in the table and reduces the size of a memo file associated with the table.

PACK [MEMO] [DBF]

Only use the MEMO argument if you want to remove unused space from the memo file but not remove the record marked for deletion from the table.

If you use the DBF argument it removes records marked for deletion from the table but doesn’t affect the memo file.

When you issue PACK without the MEMO and DBF clauses, PACK affects both the table and the memo file.

Hope this helps.

Doug
