Hi Fred!

So, you want to (for example) create a memo field with all 1000 records in it?

The easy way to do that is to append directly from the text file into the memo field. Just create the table with 1 field (your memo field) append a blank record, and then _append memo from mytextfile.txt_

HTH

>What I am working with is many many straight text files that I have imported into a table fox reads the text file as thousands of records and that's okay. What I need to do is to take the text now a .dbf and make it one large record as oppose to many records. Hope that's helpful enough, like I said the last time I did any serious programming was in DOS/Windows versions of fox.
