DBF File header file corruption can occur due to various reasons, like improper system shutdown, virus attack, modification in hex-editor, and application malfunction. When the DBF file header gets corrupted due to any of the above reasons, the file becomes unreadable or inaccessible. Moreover, a user encounters an error message while opening the file, which happens in your case. You can use following solutions to overcome DBF file header corruption,:
1) Restore the file from a valid backup copy.
2) In case of no backup, you needs to repair the corrupted DBF file by using third party DBF Repair Software.

As a variant try next step:
Copy a valid memo file over the corrupt memo file to access the database again. 

NOTE: The original memo field information will be lost unless the valid memo file was an exact backup of the corrupt file. All memo field backup files have an extension of .TBK. 

The corrupt memo file will have an .FPT extension, such as OLD.FPT. In the following example, assume NEW.FPT is a valid memo file. To bypass the error message and access the database again, type the following command at the MS- DOS command prompt:

copy new.fpt old.fpt
