>I've got to import text files where each line is longer than 254 characters. Does anyone know of a work around for VFP's 254 char limit? Thanks...

Use more than one field.

Create cursor dummy (Char1 c(254), char2 c(254), char3 c(254), alltext m)
Append from yourfile.txt sdf
replace all alltext with char1+char2+char3
copy field alltext to yourtable
