>Yes, you can not use UNION with memo fields as UNION tries to perform a distinct operation. You may try UNION ALL if you don't need a result with distinct entries. You can also try to insert deleted values into the first cursor if you create it with readwrite option.

Thanks a lot! I did not need the DISTINCT, so I just added ALL and it worked.
