>I realized that replacing a memo field in a record, the size of the .fpt files grows very much. to reduce it i have to pack it. Is there any other method to do it as i cannot, or better i prefer not to do it, open exclusively the table to run the pack command.

If it's large now, and you want to shrink it you need to PACK it, which as you note requires exclusive access.
If you want to reduce the memo size and the rate at which it grows you can try SET BLOCKSIZE TO 0. See the help for SET BLOCKSIZE for further information.
