When you try to open a table, have you got this error message:
"Memo File is Missing/Invalid"
If yes then do you know the causes of this error??
Why this error occurs:
1.If one of the user performs an action that results in a table's memo file being locked, and a second user attempts to open the same table and access the memo field information, the second client may open the memo file with an incorrect blocksize. This can result in incorrect information being read from the memo field or memo file corruption.
2.Second reason is file corruption.
3.Another most common reasons are the system crashed, or the user switched off the computer, while a table with a memo field was open.
May be there is another different reasons of this error but these all three are most common reasons of this errors.
There are lots of solution of this error but I am explaining here most easy & time consuming procedures:
How to solve this error:
Copy a valid memo file over the corrupt memo file to access the database again.
Another solution is valid backup. If you have updated backup then you can easily handle this error by restore your all data from updated backup.
