>>>Having some difficulty with the scatter command under VFP 3.0b. I'm trying to setup memory variables for all the fields in a perticular table, noticed in the book it states that you have to issue a memo option on the scatter command to include memo fields which by default are included in a scatter command. My command is 'scatter memvar memo' but when I try to access the memo field fox tells me that the variable doesn't exist ?

>>>Another question about scatter is if your navigating through records on a form do you issue a scatter for each skip or does the record pointer automatically update the memory variables and if the record pointer updates the memory variables does multiple scatters per skip cause any harm.... just an argument I had with a coworker the other day!

>>Isn't the command "scatter memo memvar"?
Does the fact that memory vars are limited to 254 chars and memo fields are 65,000 have anything to do with the problem? I have 3.0 and scattered from the command line then disp memo and my memo field shows up?? Don't know about 3.0b but it also does the same in 5.0.
