I examined the .FPT file and it seems to be of the appropriate length and has at least some of the contents of the memo fields in it (I did not do an exhaustive examination). Is there anything I can do to restore the sanity of this database? E-mail me and I will post a summary.

No wonder he was such a great engineer."
