>I would have to read up again on the mechanics of accessing strings in C in a fll - there you move from the pointer to vfp memory to raw C pointer. Pretty certain a test scenario could be built, but I am not longing for a return to the C machine room unless bribed with insame amounts (think "Schmeeeerzensgeld")
If you move to the vfp install directory\Samples\API\ you will see the example.dbf table. USE example.dbf and then BROWSE LAST and open up the various memo fields. They convey exactly how to do it. One that I looked at is the MEMFILL entry. You can see the _HandToPtr() function and how it retrieves direct access to memory variables. You should also Lock() and Unlock() access.
USE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Samples\API\examples.DBF"
BROWSE LAST
