>Thank you for the prompt reply. The garbage characters I was referring are apparently carriage returns. I don't see the characters via the interface or looking at the data in the table. So that is good. I discovered these characters on an excel spreadsheet which i'm writing foxpro data to. Are there any foxpro commands I can use to remove these characters?
