>what can I use instead of FILETOSTR(). I have this HTML file I want to paste into Oulook, so in Ver6 I say:
>lcBody = FILETOSTR("Myfile.HTM")

Sérgio gave you FileToStr, this is StrToFile


function strtofile
lpara tcString, tcFileName

tcString = IIF(EMPTY(tcString),"",tcString)

lnHandle = FCREATE(tcFileName)

IF lnHandle = -1
RETURN .F.
ENDIF

local llSuccess
llSuccess = FWRITE(lnHandle,tcString)
=FCLOSE(lnHandle)

RETURN (llSuccess # 0)
