What ever you do, don't accept VFP's offer to fix the FPT file. It will likely delete much of your data.

What I do most often is simply create a null copy of the table (it good to make these ahead of time) and append from the damaged table.

One time when the append would hang at a certain point, I created a new null table without the notes field and appended to that. Next I added a new notes field (empty, of course). Then I wrote a sequential loop to run through both tables and transfer the data in the notes field from the damaged table to the new table, one record at a time. That worked well.
