Hi Cindy,

Ai-Ai-Ai!!!!!!! (it's a Russian expression) :) Do you assign field content with =??????
Use Replace instead:

local lcMemoString
lcMemoString=lcMemoString+lcSeparator+ALLT(TableWithMemoFields.MemoField)
replace LargeMemoCursor.LargeMemo with lcMemoString in LargeMemoCursor && in clause is also important to avoid problems with EOF()

>>Thanks for your help. I haven't looked at VFP in a long time and this is helping refresh my memory.
>>My problem really lies in the fact that I have two tables being the drivers one is in the detail line as normal and the other one is in the group area. This is the one that I have the descr table 1 thru 15 and each group is a separate descr number so that we get clean breaks between each page to keep the data together. Here is the real problem. since this is the the group area I don't keep rereading that table. Is there a place a I can read through this table store all the memo fields together as one huge field and print this field? Would I hit a space limit? Sorry for the confustion at the beginning. I forgot how the report was set up.
