>>>Okay, hello and thanks in advance. I have a bit of a problem here, on a time crunch. I have a valid connection and loadout from an SQL data source, into a VFP cursor. Eventually, to dump into a database, but right now, just to list a report of certain key data items of the SQL source. However, one of the KEY data items, which needs to be reported, displayed is an SQL field, binary, contained in a memo field (aahhh!!!!).

Hi Ric,
I hadn't strike with any similar problems, so I think I could not help you.
But you set that you are using BINTOC(). If the data is in binary format shouldn't you use CTOBIN to obtain the numeric value? I'm not sure I understand you real need.
Anyway glad to talk with you!
