Hi Chris ----

You know, you could use INSERT INTO instead of the APPEND BLANK and REPLACE duo. Do you have a tab order set or is it important that the table be in physical order? Hmmm.

FGET(mfilename,500) is an "oops" on my part. I copied the code over from a working app and should have explained that: The 500 represents the line length. If VFP encounters an end of line marker before 500, no sweat. You should adjust this figure to the maximum line length specific to your situation.

Glad I could help!
