The error's not because character field cannot handle chr(13) + chr(10) but by the way you build insert command
>When inserting a string into a VFP table (using INSERT INTO command) and a string contains characters chr(13) and chr(10), I get error: "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword." The SQL Server DB has no such a problem.

>Here is the sample text of the string:
>
>cStr2Insert = "line 1" + chr(13) + chr(10) + "line2"

>What should I replace the chr(13) and chr(10) with, when creating such a string for VFP DB?
