Russell,

If the memo content is less that 255 characters and will never contain a carriage return or line feed than you can use an intermediate cursor that brings the memo into a C(255) field and then scan that cursor and stuff it into the real table. You can also string together several character fields if your memo is larger then 254.

Or you can use the LLFF, like fgets(), to process the file.

>I am trying to append data from a comma delimited text file and I want a part of this to be appended to a memo field. I can accomplish this if I use the Import Wizard. However, I would like to be able to do this programatically. 'Append From' does not seem to offer this ability and 'Append Memo' seems to offer only this. Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
