>Thanks for the info. I played around with some coding last night, and although I'm still fairly new to the FoxPro environment, I found something that managed to work relatively well. This will be suitable for now, but I think that the insert command that you have outlined to me is another option that would work equally well. I have probably gone the long route to accomplishing this data merge. Here's a copy of the code that I have used, but I can already see that I can take the insert routine and replace it with append routine. I'll probably look at making the modifications that you recommended when I get a few other things out of the way. Thanks a lot.

scatter memvar memo
insert into (m_proj+"PA") from memvar
use (m_proj+"SP") alias SP in 0
sele SP
skip
show gets
