>Best to leave off the F5 memo in the initial SQL and replace it with the key field that points to it and also add an empty memo field

CAST(SPACE(1) AS M) AS F6

. Then update the result cursor/table F6 field from the source using the key field. At least that's the way I do it. And yes, only use use the latest version of SQL.
