Since I posted this, I have some additional information:

For some reason, I am not able to get foxfixes ff_scan function to work right. it returns an error code of zero on a table that I know is corrupt.

But I implemented a function call to 'dscan50x.app', and this is working like a charm. It finds and/or fixes the problems that I can't find with ff_scan() and fixes the problems I can only find, but not fix.

But I still can't get Foxfix5.exe, via the gui interface, to write the changes to my tables.

Any ideas?

TIA

(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?
