Hi Fred,

>How do I define a struct variable in VFP.

There are several possibilities. For example, I wrote with Mark Wilden a struct class that gives lets you treat a structure as an object including pointers, arrays, etc. But in this particular case you can easily use something like this:

DIMENSION aStruct[1024]

* convert to string
lcString = ""
For lnItem=1 to 1024
   lcString = lcString + Chr(aStruct[lnItem])
Endfor

* convert from string
For lnItem=1 to 1024
   aStruct[lnItem] = Asc(Substr(lcString,lnItem,1))
Endfor
