Hands down I absolutely see it now, I have simply never experienced it before. My long-time experience that cursors and tables used exclusively do not experience memo bloat has just been shattered. VFP doesn't throw many curveballs at me these days :D

BTW -- I have a workaround that I'm almost done with -- I'm just not proud of it. Documenting it is going to take me 100x longer than writing the code! :(
