>I am trying to import a txt file that is comma delimited using the APPEND FROM...TYPE DELIMITED command. Everything works great until I come across a carriage return in the txt file (this portion was originally a memo field in the program I created the txt file from). At this point the program interprets the carriage return as the begining of a field. From this point on everything is screwed up.

You could always use the FILETOSTR command then STRTRAN the carriage return to something else. Put the file back with STRTOFILE then try appending it in to a dbf. Once in the dbf you then can STRTRAN the field with the carriage return back to a carriage return from what ever you translated it to before.
