Foxpro 2.6 Windows Screen Problem

[dweekes]

I have a project built in Fox2.6 Win. Suddenly I cannot edit the screens. I get the error &quot;Memo file is missing/invalid&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have seen this error before, but cannot remember the fix.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can anyone help.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks<br><br>Dave

The project is nothing more that a database (&quot;.PJX&quot with a memo fields.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can actually do a use xxx.pjx from the command window and browse the project without the nice project manager interface. What has happened is the record pointer in the pjt file is no longer pointed to the correct record in the pjx file.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a common effect of&nbsp;&nbsp;someone opening the pjt file with a word processor or a drive sector that went bad that the pjt file was using.<br>Try.<br>1. Packing the project file.<br>2. running a diskscan program (windows or norton)<br>3. Using a 3rd party software like (dsalvage or norton filefix) to reassociate the record pointers.<br>4. Restore the PJ* files from a backup.<br>5. Delete all .PJ* files and make a new project.<br> <p>David W.

After posting the last message and reading it I aslos thought that the screen file could be the problen also.&nbsp;&nbsp;A screen is the same as a project only the database extensions have been names differt (&quot;.SCX&quot; is the database and &quot;.SCT&quot; is the memo file) one of these files could be the problem instead of the PJX/PJT file.<br>The fixes in my last post apply here also.<br> <p>David W.
