Fascinating, original size of the DBF 710448 original size of fpt: 1276848
selecting * from the tabl3 DBF = 710448 FPT = 923354
A drop in the size of the fpt of 353492.. Could i rename the "selected" FPT and use it. I treid a pack memo and there no change in thesiz of the FPT?
Regards, Desmond

Good Morning!
Have a very wide dbf with about 8 memo fields . Started acteing strange like if I tried to re-index or pack memo it would seem to go so far and then freeze!
Found a utility that seemed to repair the file. The only issue is that the DBF is 710mb and the associated memo file is 1.2gb! Yikes. Have ran a pack memo (with no issues) and there is no change in the size of the memo file, which I am assuming is boated.
1.) Is the memo file really bloated. 2.) Going to look at the individual memo fields and see if any one of the records has an unusually large memo field. 3.) Open to any other suggestion that you wise people could recommend....
TIA/Regards, Desmond
