>>>Hi Gang!
>>>
>>>In working with a new (to me, but old) Project, I have an old table called
>>>
>>>invrstrings.dbf with its cdx and fpt files.
>>>
>>>I can open it just fine with the USE command. It has 4 memo fields in it.
>>>
>>>And I can browse it ok... except when the mouse hovers over the last 2 memo files in the browse, it throws up the
>>>
>>>"Memo file invalid or missing" error.
>>>
>>>So....... any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't have any old backups of this file with this data in it... all I have all blank tables to go back to, and I want to use this data for testing purposes to learn how the program works.
>>>
>>>Thanks a bunch!!!
