Dmitry,

VFP never has had an ability to deal with memo fields going to or coming from Excel formats.

One easy way to deal with this is to make two passes at the file. Run an IMPORT or APPEND FROM to get all of the non-memo content. Then make a second pass using Excel automation to read the Cell.Value for the locations that contain the memo values. Do it this way is a lot better speedwise than doing cell by cell access to the entire spreadsheet.

>When using VFP command IMPORT, is it possible to make VFP create a memo field for long cells? Otherwise, VFP creates a C-type field and the content of the field is truncated.
