I have an email in to Xitech - but since it is late at night there now.. thought I'd try here first..

I just got a new version of Foxfix - 5.1. I ran the standalone version to check the integrity of my dbf. Fox fix found errors in the fpt. (However the 'Memo Tab' itself has a green checkmark next to it) But the scan summary tab shows that there were 23 memo pointer errors. The 'messages' tab shows a final status code of '0000..' (Doesn't that indicate that there is no problem?

However, the 'error log' tab shows 23 messages indicating memo pointer problems. Clicking the update button at the bottom right takes me straight back to the 'Filename to scan ' dialog box. When i click to scan the file again, it shows the same errors. The dbf and fpt never get updated.

What am I doing wrong? Why does the memo tab itself have a green checkmark?


I found an 'old version' of foxfix from around 1997. It had a separate memoscan utility. I ran that against my table(s). It found and corrected the memo errors. I'm sure they have improved the product since 1997! not made it worse - so - I must be doing something wrong - need a new build -.

Env: win98, don't think there are any file or folder permission issues, etc.

Finally, I used the ff_scan function of the foxfix5.dll - it is NOT finding any errors with the file. Again, I am guessing that I am doing something wrong.

Any ideas?

TIA
