I have code as follows:

Sele ALI
SCATTER MEMO NAME Thisform.Obj BLANK   
..... do some code to populate fields
Insert into ALI FROM NAME THISFORM.obj

This gives a Data Type Mismatch

However , if I

Sele ALI
Appe Blank
Gather Name Thisform.Obj

.... this workd fine and populate fields ok

Any ideas on why I am getting the Mismatch, as I would have thought that the Scatter Blank would initialise all fields

Regards,
Gerard
