Memo ARE susceptable to corruption, more so if running on Novell.

It is the way the data is appended to the end of the file if a block boundary is exceeded during an edit, a multiuser environment just complicates things more.

I have seen an edit on record 1 of a DBF in a Novell multiuser environment cause all memo references for the whole file appended to the end of the FPT and all block pointers set to record 1 in the DBF.

We did away with memos years ago. (For text entry only)
