>>Since APPEND FROM does not work with MEMO field, I need to extract data from several .TXT files using an alternative approach. I thought of parsing the file with VFP code, loading the file into a string with FILETOSTR(). But the string is too long (the .txt file is about 6 MB).

Yes, the .TXT file top line identifies the columns in the .TXT file. Are you saying that FILETOSTR() should load the entire file?
