>I think the problem may be that the app I was working with was FPDos 2.5. I haven't rechecked it (don't have FPD on this computer) but thanks for taking the time to check. It's a good thing to know since most of the time the 'old app' will be FPW 2.6.

Not sure about FPx2.5. The size of the memo field changed somewhere about there didn't it? Maybe other things changed, too. 2.6 works OK, FPD & FPW.
