>Hello,
>I have a cursor that has a MEMO field in it. When I try to copy the cursor to an Excel spreadsheet, it cuts out the MEMO field. Is there some switch in the COPY TO command that would include the MEMO field? Temporarily I am copying the MEMO field to a CHAR field, but then I can only copy text under 254 chars.

Mike,
Use ADO instead. ie:
Select * ;
  from (Home()+'samples\data\employee') ;
  into Cursor crsToExcel ;
  nofilter

VFP2Excel( ,"My Export") 
Function VFP2Excel
  Lparameters tcCursorName, tcSheetName
  tcCursorName = Iif(Empty(m.tcCursorName),Alias(),m.tcCursorName)
  tcSheetName = iif(empty(m.tcSheetName),"Sheet1", m.tcSheetName)
  Local loConn As AdoDB.Connection, loRS As AdoDB.Recordset,;
    lcTempRs, lcTemp, oExcel
  lcTemp = forcepath(Sys(2015)+'.dbf',sys(2023))
  lcTempRs = forcepath(Sys(2015)+'.rst',sys(2023))
  Select (m.tcCursorName)
  Copy To (m.lcTemp)
  loConn = Createobject("Adodb.connection")
  loConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;Data Source="+sys(2023)
  loConn.Open()
  loRS = loConn.Execute("select * from "+m.lcTemp)
  loRS.Save(m.lcTempRs)
  loRS.Close
  loConn.Close
  Erase (m.lcTemp)
  loRS.Open(m.lcTempRs)

  oExcel = Createobject("Excel.Application")
  With oExcel
    .WorkBooks.Add
    .Visible = .T.
    With .ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet
      .Name = m.tcSheetName
      .QueryTables.Add( loRS, .Range("A1")).Refresh()
      *!*   .Range("A1").AutoFormat(8) && xlRangeAutoFormatColor2
      .Range("A1").Activate
    Endwith
  Endwith
  loRS.Close
  Erase (m.lcTempRs)
