>That's what I was looking for - kind of like a SCATTER TO ARRAY for a memo field. Is there a corresponding function that GATHERs the array elements back into a string (with CHR(13)s) that can be REPLACED into the memofield, or is that an exercise that is left to the reader?
>(with apoligies to Whil Hentzen...:-) for stealing his line)

Its left to the reader as you said :-)

But basically its a five lines coding process

MyText=""
for i = 1 to alen(myarray,1)
   MyText=MyText+myArray[i,1]+chr(13)
endfor
replace myMemo with MyText
