You can use Strtofile(...,..., .T.).

>Hi everybody,

>Thanks to Hector Correa I created an Address Standardizator class, which I use in interactive and auto (non-interactive) mode.
>
>For each record I keep some notes about what changes were done. I also want to keep the history of the whole file, so I need accumulative notes, which I then send to a result file.
>
>Originally I just created a form's property to keep accumulative notes.
>I never ran my tests on 600000+ rec. file, but my manager did and found a serious slow down.

>So, I got rid of this form property, I now create a temp cursor in the Init of the class curNotes (Notes M)

>and do replace Notes with NotesStr additive.

>Do you think, this approach is better? Do you have other ideas?

>Thanks a lot in advance.
