>Thanks for the tip. The issue was not with scatter/gather. I have a routine that exports data in the form of a free table. I use a SELECT-Sql to create my free table. That is truncating my field names to 10 charachters. SO when I go to scatter/gather, they arent getting populated, the field names dont match up. The exported table needs to remain free.

The oldest version of Scatter/Gather: scatter to laArray Memo. It will create an array and then the Gather From laArray Memo will fill your fields by position, regardless of names. This position dependence is what made it not so useful, so most probably everyone forgot about it, but I think it's still there and should work.
