Okay, I know there is a trick to this.
I am writing a program that will iterate a VFP database and create pipe separated text files with no quotes and the data appropriate massaged for the SQL tables that will bulk upload them.
I have some memo fields.
I can do something clumsy that initailly puts a blank character in the column that will go to the SQL varchar(max) and then dummy up something to suck data in ( I do NOT want to use any kind of OLE or OLEDB to connect ot VFP if I can get around it. )
Does anybody have tricky magic??

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
