Peter,
Getting the data from fpt is the easy part. Hard part is in associating them with correct records and as I understand the records are missing.

A dbf with memo fields keep 'block pointers' in memo field position. ie:

table : name c(20), memofield1 m, somefield d, memofield2 m
might have data as :

John Smith, 102, 03/02/2003, 105

102 and 105 are block pointers (browsing shows Memo, hexeditors show 102 and 105 in plain string padded left to 10 bytes - fox2x).

An fpt has memo blocksize in its header and default is 64 (hex 40). 102 then means offsett 102*64.

Without having block pointers I don't know of a way to associate the fpt data with real records.
