>>I run VFP 6.0 and am trying to import my memo fields into Excel. I have had luck getting them into excel by opening my FoxPro table in Access, and changing the field definition from Memo to text. Then saving as some other file format and opening in Excel. Is there any way to cut out the Access step and go straight from VFP tables to Excel and keep my memo fields?
