Thanks for the suggestion. I had a months-old copy of the table and ended up writing code that scanned through, and tried to access the memo fields of each record inside TRY-CATCH. If it failed, I blanked the field and then pulled in the data from the old copy. That resolved the errors. I still need to see if I can grab the content for the memos of the newer records (from, say, a hex editor) and push it back in, but pleased that I was able to resolve the errors.
