Hi!

You cannot, I already tried that. ALTER TABLE do not work for views and SPT cursors, as well as no conversion allowed between general and memo.

There is a sample in the FAQ article. Did you tried it? There are 2 parts - reading and writing.

Well, I would recommend RV because no troubles with manual editing of DBF to change field type. Anyway SPT approach works and it is quite universal.

HTH.
