>Auto-repair mode. If number of the records written in the header of the table does not match size of the file, then auto-repairing is performed. This mode auto-repairs corrupted memo file also (from version 2004c). There is a limitation within 5 records of difference: not to "auto- loss" more then 5 records in this mode. Interface window is not shown in case nothing to repair or repair process is successful.

Yep, tried that, and it didn't seem to change anything.

Hmm, wonder if there was something I needed to do to activate the tool, rather than having it think I was just testing it out. I'll have to go back and recheck that.
