Thanks Al. I had a mashup of these 2 lines of code into just one line of code and i had left off TO MEMVAR in my last attempt. I was writing out the results to a FILE called "lcCursor" instead of to the memvar itself. It now works.

SET TEXTMERGE ON
SET TEXTMERGE TO MEMVAR lcCursor NOSHOW

>>No joy trying to use SET TEXTMERGE in a SCAN loop and output info/html to a memvar. When i display the value of the memvar at the end, nothing is shown. (there is data)

>>lcCusor = ""
>>SET TEXTMERGE ON TO MEMVAR lcCursor NOSHOW
