>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I came across an issue with Text type column that UPPER() function (that is used a lot in my app) does not work on Text but works on Varchar(max). Before I go ahead and change all my memo fields (in SQL Server) to Varchar(max), is there a downside of not using Text for memo? TIA.

>>Where are some problems of getting back varchar(max) field to VFP. If you're using CA with ADO, it's not a problem. See Re: SQL Server XML DataType in VFP Thread #1520028 Message #1520149
>>
>>Other than that, it's recommended to get rid of getting deprecated Text type.

>Actually I am using CA with ODBC and have no problem accessing Varchar(max). So I will go ahead and change Text to Varchar(max). Thank you.

Yes, go ahead.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
