>When I create a Memo field using the Table Designer I have always wondered why sometimes the field width defaults to Memo 4 while at other times it defaults to Memo 10? Just curious as to why. Does it really make any difference?

Fox 2.x allocated 10 bytes/record/memo to store a pointer as an ASCII string; VFP tables use a 4 byte integer value as a pointer into the memo.
