I think your problem lies here - as I remember, FPW had a maximum string variable length (somewhere in the range of 64K; it's been a while since I used FPW.) You might try creating a temporary .DBF that contains a memo field, appending a blank record, then populating the memo using APPEND MEMO. Use the memo field rather than a variable for your operation. since memo fields are limited only by disk space.
