Deadly serious, I know, Desmond. Apologies if I was stating the obvious. I feel your pain. It's hard to say what the best solution will be until you know the scope of the problem. Off the top of my head it sounds like the pointer to where the next chunk of memo data is supposed to be written is wrong but there could be other issues as well. My experience has been that Recover seems to handle memo field issues better than Foxfix.
Sometimes you can recover from this problem doing a "copy to" a new table. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Desmond Lloyd Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 12:57 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: VFP6 Severe memo bloat No kidding...
