>>VFP crashes most of the time that I try to do a tableupdate() and I have a memo field that I am updating. Do you know of this limitation and how I might get around this. <<

Two possible issues:

1.) If you send more characters then the Oracle field, this will cause an error. You may need to look at the .MaxLength property of each memo field (probably thru a class definition and validation step)

2.) I have seen some problems when the VFP view has too many memo fields.

What specific ODBC/Oracle error are you getting?
