Hi James,

It's know problem with Textmerge() in VFP7. See Re: C0000005 with TEXTMERGE() Thread #666832 Message #667237 for explanation and workaround. I believe it has been fixed in VFP8.

>I have a CS app that uses Sql Pass through to update data. I have started using textmerge() to help create the strings so I can sqlexec() them. My client's is getting intermittent C5 errors and most of the time the line is a textmerge() line. Does this function have problems that I should be looking for or should I not be using the function at all?
