>There are a couple for tabs and the street address should drop into field 5 but actually drops into field 4. If I remove the double quotes, the field drop in correctly. Also if I replace all of the double tabs with tab.tab, the append correctly as well. This happens in FoxPro 5, 6, 7 and 8.

You can do

APPEND FROM c:\test.txt TYPE DELIMITED WITH | WITH CHARACTER TAB
* VFP8 and later
APPEND FROM c:\test.txt TYPE DELIMITED WITH "" WITH CHARACTER TAB

After that you can post process data to remove double quotes
