>Thank you for the detailed example, but I am afraid you have lost me. (I've only been working with aps.net and vb.net for a couple of months.) Is the trick here to use a streamreader to insert the memo fields? In my web page I am building up the "Update" command one text box at a time. I then pass the command off to a business object that uses the execute nonquery method to apply it to my foxpro database. I am currently pursuing a way to use string replacement to substitute any found "vbcrlf" strings with the "chr(13)+chr(10)" string as I build up the Update command. I haven't fully tested it yet though.

Stephen,
Code was crystal clear. It shows that either from a string object or from an external file you can easily update the memo using VFPOLEDB driver.

string myStr = "some string";

is same as:

dim myStr as string
myStr = "some string"

in VB.Net.
What does it matter if you're only working with ASP.Net and VB.Net.VB.Net too uses the same ADO.Net classes. The only difference in that example is codebehind language is C#.
