My point is that you should only have ONE replace command, not a lot like in your sample. In a multiuser envirionment VFP will allocate a new memory block for each replace, if you do it your way, causing memo bloat.

mPocReciept="20-09-2004 Cashier: Bob" +CHR(13)+CHR(10)
mPocReceipt=mPocReceipt + "Pizza..........1x 8.00 =  8.00" +CHR(13)+CHR(10)
mPocReceipt=mPocReceipt + "Topping....1x 1.00 =  1.00" +CHR(13)+CHR(10)
Replace PocReceipt with mPocReceicpt
