Has anyone used text files in place of memo? In other words, each record in my database has a userid. I would like to maintain a history of changes (i.e. title, address, status) each member and thought the risk of corruption working with a memo field would be higher risk than appending to a text file for each member.

Has anyone used this type of method? What, if any, pitfalls should I expect? In your own opinion, what would be a better option to use? I'm leaning towards the text file approach, but wanted to hear from others.

TIA,

Vernon
