>>Hmm, mine doesn't do that. The table was originally created in FPD2.6, with no memo fields. If I go into VFP6, and add a memo field, I can go back to 2.6 and can use the table just fine, memo and all. I have no idea WHAT your standing would now be. < BG >

It works with VFP5/SP3 too, Colin. David, you had a different build # for your VFP6/SP3, did you ever get the "real" SP3 (version 6.00.8492)? I don't know, maybe that's the reason? I've never know this to work any differently, unless the table was created in VFP first.
