How about memo data?

>Most often, foxfix can fix the table itself on the fly, that is why I like using it. For over 90% of the cases, Foxfix fixes the corrupted table on the fly onsite at the customer's location. Foxfix has a dll you can load in your app that when called will verify the table before opening it in VFP and that is how we do it. I know others like to use SDT...

Thanks.
