Am converting a fp2.6 system to vfp9 and part of the effort is converting the tables. One table has a memo field that needs to be converted.
The routine I'm using creates a cursor and loads the old table into it. The field that I load the memo field into is C(254).
When it's loaded I open the new empty table and do the following:
select dummy
go top
for i = 1 to lntotcnt
select client
scatter memvar
cname_id = dummy.xname_id
etc . . etc
mNotes = dummy.xNotes && this doesn't work! there is data in dummy.xNotes.
append blank
gather memvar
skip in dummy
endfor

What code can I use to copy the dummy.xNotes c(254) data into the mNotes memo field?
All help appreciated.
