>i have a foxuser file that works fine in VFP 6 but says it is corrupt if I SET RESOURCE TO in VFP 9 SP1. did the file format change between these versions? if so then how can I detect an old free table memo file format for a foxuser file that is pre-vfp9sp1? Thanks ahead of time for any ideas!

Can you try

SET TABLEVALIDATE TO 0
use myCorruptedFoxUserDBF
append blank
DELETE
use

then close VFP and re-try?

Though I think you may not be able to use the same file in VFP9 version.
