>My "SELECT * FROM Table INTO CURSOR Table READWRITE NOFILTER" accomplishes the same thing. ZAP will alleviate my problem with NOFILTER slowing down the system due to 2 .TMP files being created, but ZAPping, appending a blank, and compensating for memo fields greater than 16 MB in length will probably be just as sluggish, but I will benchmark real quick...

John,

Can you post code that updates memo field?
