the memo field is part of a table which is part of a DBC stored on an external harddrive. It is retrieved with a Select statement into a cursor.

>>Uh no....it's not there. When I do an At(chr(13), stem). In the original memo field, the chr(13) is somewhere around 260 (iirc), in the query memo field it's somewhere around 508. In other words, the first chr(13), which should be at the end of 'out.' gets replace with about 200 spaces. Where I was seeing this WAS in Word and I went back to the query table to check it out.
