Paul,

Thanks for the info on AFIELDS() function. I'm using it in the code below. But I'm having a problem with the APPEND MEMO command.

The code below gets my field names correctly delimited and in quotes.  But the APPEND MEMO command adds the records from the cursor right to the end of my first
"header row" line.  How do I force it to start appending on the second line.  Do I force some sort of carriage return?  If so, how?

Thanks.
Elgin

COPY TO ALIAS()+".txt" TYPE DELIMITED
lcFile = alias() + ".txt"
n=AFIELDS(laFields)
  lcStr = '"'+laFields[1]+'"'
for i = 2 to n
lcStr = lcStr + "," +'"'+ laFields(i,1)+'"'
endfor
create cursor temp (mStr m)
append blank
replace temp.mStr with lcStr
append memo mStr from (lcFile)
copy memo temp.mStr to (lcFile)
