>The section of code I'm referencing is too large, so here's the gist. I've got a text file I'm cutting up and sticking in a table. My table has 11 fields, one of which is a memo. My DBT file is created ok, and opening/accessing the table is ok. In this process, I'm appending blank, and replacing the fields, including the memo, with my data. I've confirmed the data integrity and overall process flow.

Hi Chris,

I am still doing some Clipper development. Please send me your code and I look into it. What version of Clipper do you use?
