>>>>I'm assuming that you received this message in FPW 2.6. There are two possible causes, one being that the header is corrupted and the other being that the number of records in the header doesn't match the number of physicla records. Try opening the screen as a table in VFP 5.0. If you can open it, the it means that the latter is the problem. In this instance, simply copy the screen file back from VFP as type FOX2X. If you can't the header has become corrupted. In this case, a product like Refox can regenerate the screen from the generated source code.

If you don't use the COPY TO...TYPE FOX2X, you won't fix the problem, which is that the heder is out of line with the total number of records. If screens work the same way reports do, you can specify an SCX extension and VFp will give the memo file the necessary SCT extension. BTW, look for some records with junk in some of the fields, and mark them for deletion and pack the table. Of course, back up is critical.
