VFP 6 now is limited to using files of 16MB and a maximum line length of 8192 bytes using the internal LLF functions; you might consider using the new FILETOSTR() and ALINES() functions rather than the LLF I/O commands. If you have text files with single lines in excess of 8K/line, this may provide a workaround; alternatively, you can use the Scripting.FileSystemObject to handle reading the text file line-by-line; it uses a different set of internal functions and may not run into the problem. OTOH, if you are getting CR/LF delimited text lines that long, I suspect that you have other problems related to parsing the input which are considerably more of a headache...
