Hi Renoir
I dont know why either but its a simple test. Create a file with a memo field. Add a record and enter something into the memo field. Close the file. Open the FPT file in, for example, Notepad. You will see your memo field contents. Now back in VFP open the file and replace the memo field with some new data. Close the file and again inspect the FPT file in Notepad. There is the new data *and* the original text too!
