>I have a table which contains records with a character field for text and a character field for a memo_key which references that text to some other key in other tables. I want to consolidate the 65 character text fields common to a particular memo into a single memo field. The natural syntax would be append the character field to the memo field. What is the VFP syntax to do that?

I will try again !!!!!!!!!!

To append to a memo field just type:

REPLACE (Memo field) WITH (Memo field) + (Char field)

If this is what you mean, them remember to PACK the table often, because of the fast growing memo file.
