Ranjan --

Thanks for your response. Since I first posted my question, I found out from another UT member that you can actually convert the Clipper memo with Fox by using the COPY command. Anyhow, my problem was converting the Clipper database to Fox, not Clipper and Fox sharing the same database.

Thanks again for the information.

>>Do any of you know of a utility that will convert Clipper memo fields to any version of FoxPro? We've thought of a way to do this programmatically, but we would rather not spend the time coding it. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
