Hi preston, you can use STRTRAN() on memo fields, I have done it
before and it works fine, it will be something like :

REPLACE my_memo WITH STRTRAN(my_memo,CHR(10),SPACE(1))

this will replace every tab with a single space,

P.S. I don't remember right now if 'TAB' is CHR(10), check that.
But let me know if it is not and I'll check it in my notes.
