Hello ALL,

I have an app where the user enters a name of a dbf file for
either encrypting or decrypting. It's an inhouse product and
there is no dbc involved. After the user has selected a dbf,
I offer an alternative name where the new data will reside.

If accpeted, the use then select the fields that will be
worked on.

I check with sys(2029) if this returns a '48' (telling me if
this is a vfp file). If it is, then I do a copy stru to
(thisform.altfilename) - note, this is a property of the
form .

Here's the problem. If there are memo fields, I crach with
error # 1113 which is file is not open - but of course it is
open. I know this is the case because I took out all the memo
fields and the program worked flawlessly..

I've tried a select * SQL command as well as an =afield()
attempt.
Any Ideas would be extremely appreciated
Sandy
