>>I have a colleague who has asked me to provide data from VFP tables (with memo fields) so that she can analyse it using MSAccess with which she is familiar.

Mark, for the time being I wanted to keep ODBC out of the picture. Could lead to one or two more adventurous types having a scout around!! Claude has suggested a download so I'll have a go there...
