>I did try to use the tools (fixfox) and (FXPfix)with no luck. I have copied my file and have opened it in wordpad, but since it is a memo field am unsure of how I could preserve all my information or what I should change.

Open a blank text in another window, and copy&paste the code (and possibly property settings) from the .sct into the text. It only saves you the retyping, but you still have to do all the rest - know which goes where. May be tedious, but if it is a way to save some code you were sweating hours over, it may be worthwhile.

If all the utilities have failed, you'll probably have to recreate your form, or at least to refill the code. Editing a memo is just a way to retrieve the source text. There's no editor which may fix the memo. BTW, what you see is probably the _available_ part of the memo, i.e. previous versions of code, and not the last ones; chances are that the latest versions are in the end, which is missing, and that's why you get blank methods when you open the form. The pointers from the .scx into the .sct were probably pointing to the missing part.

You may also try RebFpt (provide it a freshly restored damaged file - not the results of what other utilities did).
