The problem with this is that if the memo file goes missing, the whole thing
is useless.
To re-create the memo file, you will have to re-create your project form
scratch or from backup.

1. First 4 bytes of memo file (fpt) Missing/invalid memo file
We are occassionally getting missing/invalid memo file errors on some
of our clients' machines. After running a utility that we have, it
appears that in most cases the problem lies with the first four bytes
of the fpt being flip-flopped. I have some understanding of how DOS
and the x86 work when storing numeric values and believe that someone
they or FOX are not flip-flopping the bytes correctly. For example, in
one file, the first four bytes of the fpt should have been 00 00 0A 23
however, on a damaged file they are 23 0A 00 00
Our clients run FoxPro for DOS runtime version 2.6a and we compile using
FoxPro for DOS 2.6a. This doesn't happen very often, and when it does
it's easily fixed. However, I want to find out why it's happening.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
