Memo field issue

[Steve Wiltsie]

I have a customer running filePro 5.0.14 on a Windows 2003 server.
Everything has been going well for quite some time until I tried to see
if a Memo field would provide something I needed in one of the files.
It didn't solve the problem so I deleted the field.  

Today I needed to add 24 new fields to the file.  The ddefine process
seemed to go properly on this file with 2 qualifiers but now the new
fields have corrupted data in them that look like graphic lines and some
of the other fields at the end of each record seem to be "scrambled".  

I have a backup that was done just before adding the new fields but I'm
wondering now if something special needs to be done to allow for the
Memo field that used to be in the same part of the map.  

Is it possible to delete a memo field from a file without causing
problems?  

Should I put all new fields for that file in the Data segment?

Thanks,
Steve Wiltsie
