Although the memo/blob problem was mine this one I can't sort.

There's a further problem which is an ElevateDB one, but linked I think, when I try and convert the tables stored in memo fields from DBISAM from ElevateDB.  I've written code to convert them ....

Translate('ELN', '_Graphics', InLinePics, edbPics);
Translate('ELN', '_Recipients', Recipients, edbRecipients);
Translate('Emails', '_Graphics', InLinePics, edbPics);
Translate('EMails', '_Recipients', Recipients, edbRecipients);
Translate('Templates', '_Attachments', Attachments, edbAtts);
Translate('Templates', '_InLine', InLinePics, edbPics);

The first 4 work well, the fifth fails when I try and open Interim (an EDBTable) after changing the table name to templates with the error "field _recipients does not exist". This is quite true but why am I getting the error? I have no persistent fields defined for Interim. I close it at the end of Translate.

Tracing through in edbcomps it seems (I've been caught before) to be here procedure TEDBDataSet.InternalInitFieldDefs; There are 8 columns and it blows up when I is 4.

If you want to send me the code, I can take a look.  I have no idea off the
top of my head what the issue is without seeing the code.

Reading again this one was my fault as well - forgot to remove a filter.

It was me (surprise, surprise) I'd forgotten to clear a filter
