>I have several very large tables that have corrupted memo files. The tables go back about 3 years. When I attemp to pack these tables I get the message "memo file is invalid or corrupt". I purchased Stonefield Database Toolkit to attempt to fix the memo files. It was unable to fix the memo files. The memo files have been corrupted for so long we no longer have any backups with the valid memo fields. I hate to lose the information stored in the memo fields by overwriting the file with a blank .fpt file. Any suggestions?

Try doing a COPY TO another table and see if that cures the problem.
