Never had a problem in those 10 years!

>Over 10 years ago we did away with memo fields because of the common problem of memo file corruption. (Computer has a bad day or Power goes out, etc. and memo file is now trash.) We changed to using a separate, standard .DBF with each memo divided into 64 byte fields with a key.

>My question is this: Are memo fields now safe? I don’t hear anything on them anymore. It used to be you would go to DevCon and someone would give an entire presentation on recovering them.

>Any and all comments are welcome.
