I am trying to figure out how to use FoxFix and fix some corruption in the memo field of a table. The interface of the FoxFix 5 has so much information and so many options that is very confusing.

When I start FoxFix and select a table to scan, I see the following in the Scan Summary:
TABLE SCAN
Records scanned:	395
  found clear:	374
  found Deleted:	21
  found Corrupt:	0

MEMO SCAN
Duplicate Pointers:	0
Invalid Block Pointers:	1
Pointers Out Of Range:	0
Blocks Too Long:	0
Block end past EOF:	0

Total Memo Errors:	1

MEMO SAMPLING (valid memos only)
Valid Memos Sampled:	238
Minimum Memo Length:	2
Average Memo Length:	422
Maximum Memo Length:	2451
Bytes Used:		102914
Bytes Slack:		5054
Bytes Wasted:		166912

OTHER
Total Time:		0:0:0 seconds

See Error Log for details.
But I can't figure out what option/command/function to select to fix these invalid block pointers.

Anybody can help with this one?

Thank you.
