Hi ,

We are in process of rewriting an old FPW 2.6 app in VFP. Till the
process is completed ( a year or more) we have to compile the FPW 2.6
app in VFP so we can convert it to 32 bit.

I am trying to compile the FPW 2.6 app under VFP 7.0 - managed to get
almost all the bugs out except one and I cannot seem to fix this
particular one.

In the FPW 2.6 application - The Insert - SQL, Gather and Scatter
commands have been used extensively.

I am finding that whenever the table has a memo field, the executable
compiled in VFP throws a fit - 'Unrecoverable error' and throws me out
of the application.

I even tried the same thing at the command prompt. Created some MEMVAR
and tried to Insert and Gather Memvar memo. The memo fields chokes.

The table structure in FPW 2.6 shows the memo field to be 10 bytes in
the table whereas a new table in VFP shows memo field to eb 4 bytes in
the table. We are using the same table from the old FPW 2.6 appl in
the VFP Compiled app.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Never mind my earlier question. I feel like a dork. The fpt files
were corrupt leading to the above mentioned problems.
