I have a bunch of DBFs with older style DBT memo files.

I'd like to access the DBFs but keep getting the "Convert memo file?" prompt. I don't actually need to look at the memo fields, and I don't want to convert them, since they are primarily used by an old FoxBase program.. Is there some way to get FoxPro to ignore the memo field? Something like:

USE myfile NO MEMO

I know I can do things like fiddling with the first byte of the file header, but I'd rather not do that.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Neil
