>I'm extremely new at VFP, and coding in general. I'm having trouble with fgets(). I'm trying to read a .dat file line by line. Each line is 306 characters. My problem is that the fgets() only reads the first line, 306 characters. When it gets to the second line, it thinks that it is 0 characters. Here is some of my code..any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jill

Jill, I don't know how the line of you .DAT file looks like, but is it possible to use just APPEND FROM to get those data?
