>I need help in repairing a damaged memo file. Is there any way to do it? It is in FoxPro 2.6.

Hi Andy,

I'm fairly new a this, but if you can still open the table that is corrupt, try copying the structure to a new table and appending the records from the corrupt table into the new table. You may loose a few memo entries on a few records, but it sure beats the alternative!

USE corrupttable
copy structure to newtable (use the same name, different directory)
SELECT newtable

Now append the records from the old (corrupt) table to the new table.

This worked for me on a table with a damaged memo file recently.
I do know there are a few tools out on the files section to help in this area a well. You might want to take a look there as well as searching for similar questions posted to UT.

HTH's you.

John.
