>>Has anyone made a function like the textmerge function in VFP 7 that they would like to share?

If you put your string into a memo field, you can process it this way:
cString = "<<DATE()>>"
CREATE CURSOR temp (string M)
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE string WITH cString
SET TEXTMERGE ON NOSHOW
SET TEXTMERGE TO merge.tmp
\\<<string>>
SET TEXTMERGE TO
SET TEXTMERGE OFF
USE IN temp
cTranslated = FILETOSTR("merge.tmp")
ERASE merge.tmp
