Thanks Tracy, it worked. Here is another one for you:
I am using copy memo words to thewords.txt additive copy the contents of a memo field into a text file and want to add several lines after the contents are copied into the text file before I move to the next record (song) in my table and do another copy memo command. How do I insert blank lines after a copy memo command?


>How about:
>

>LOCAL lctable
>lctable=""
>lctable=GETFILE("dbf")
>DO CASE
>CASE RIGHT(lctable,LEN(ALLT(lctable))-RAT('\',lctable))="MYFILE.DBF"
>    USE (lctable) IN 0
>    SELE (lctable)
>CASE EMPTY(lctable)
>    *Do something here
>OTHERWISE
>    *Do something here
>ENDCASE
>
