Foxpro cannot index a field of char 250.
However, if I could compress that field
and place the result in another field, then
I could create an index on that field.

What I need is simply :
cText = REPLICATE(SPACE(),250)
cCompText = TextCompress(cText)

? len(cText)
250

? len(cCompText)
3

Any Help Appreciated
