Create a simple form add a edit box make sure the control source is blank.

In the INIT of the form type
BEGIN TRANSACTION

Add a table with a memofield in data environment.

Set buffermodeoverride to 5 for the cursor in the data environment

Place a cmd button(replace) and in click event type:-

REPLACE table.memofield WITH thisform.edtreplace.value

You may add an exit cmd button.

Do the form within your foxpro environment(vfp 5 or 6). When the form loads click on the replace cmd button.

Load another foxpro environment(2nd vfp application) do the form in this new enviroment and voila you get the message "record not available" scrolling on the status bar.


My question is why does this happen only with memo fields and not other fields.
