Really strange. I'll try again. The file indeed contains CT records (945K of them)
Still doesn't work.

More info: each time it seems like VFP hangs and I have to kill VFP.

Here is my test command:
append from (m.tcFileName) delimited with tab ;
for inlist(state,'MA','CT','RI','NH') and not m.plHalt and reccount()<5
I'm trying it from command window
I set plHalt = .f.
on escape plHalt = .t.

I guess, it would not work for some reason. The text file contains more than 1MM records, could it be a problem?
