Doh! Right on, thanks

>If he wants to replace MLINE( icMemoField, tnLine ) with a specific character string and no carriage returns are present in the field, your code will not replace anything. However, using SET('MEMOWIDTH'), there may indeed be a line that requires replacing.

Yeah, thats why I mentioned you should do some checking too.
