Nulls may be an issue - if the target field doesn't allow nulls and your code tries to insert them, then you'd get an error and the record would be skipped.

Another thing, if your memos may contain binaries, make sure you have AutoTranslate=No in your connectstring, or else it may do some haircut on your bytes - strip the diacriticals etc.
