>but are you aware of this problem: memo file amusr.fpt is missing or invalid?
Everybody used MEMO fields someday, somehow have that problem :-)
Usually it happens with bad power or bad network.
I don't know why on one of our clients only ONE file (from 10) that have memo fields gives us such problem. I even put ALL updates/inserts/deletes in that file in transaction, buffer the table and still that happens. After our customer changes its computers and put some UPS in place all problems stops.
But I still wonder WHY that happened :-)
