Fred,

I created a table with memo in 2.6, appended a record with a memo, closed the table. Switched to VFP6, did a modi stru to add a second memo, appended another record with a memo, closed the table. Switched back to 2.6 tried to open the table and it said the memo file was missing. Does that make me semi-uncorrected-semi-corrected? *L*

>For safety's sake, you probably are correct, best to do it in 2.6. I guess I've never had to add a memo field. Well, I just tried that, too, and it keeps them as the old 2.6 memo fields, even if you're adding the first memo field to the structure. The header must tell it to use the old 10 byte format, not the new 4 byte one. So now you are semi-semi corrected. :)
