Hi All:

How can I COPY to another table, FOO, but handle the memo fields in the following possible ways:

1. Exclude any memo fields
2. Convert the memo fields to character fields in the output table and just copy the first 255 characters

I realize I can do this with some programming, but is there a simpler way?

Why do I want to do this?

Because I want to COPY to a text file for a user and also provide the user with the structure of FOO that matches the text file. I've discovered that VFP ignores memo fields when COPYing to a text file.

Thanks,

Yossi
