>I had this problem that was a bear to figure out. My problem that the pointer from the .DBF to the corresponding place in the .FPT was screwed up. Pack and Pack Memo did not help. To fix it, I opened the table and did a COPY TO TEMPFILE (WITH CDX), verify the contents of the TEMPFILE, close and delete original .DBF and .FPT. Then rename all the TEMPFILE components. IF your table is linked to a .DBC, then I would ZAP original then APPEND FROM TEMPFILE in order to maintain all your table properties.


We ran FoxFix. It found some problems with decimals, but not with pointers to memos.
This problem surfaced when we moved to Win95 about 2 weeks ago. Is there a problem
with VFP and the Intranetware drivers?
