Don, there are several ways to achieve this. My sugegstion would be to use the SCAN...ENDSCAN (or other loop mechanism) and output the data in a custom format that you require. For instance you could do any of the following:

1) Create a string containing all your required fields and then use STRTOFILE() to write the data out to a disk text file.

2) Open a file with low level file functions and write the data out to the file.

3) You can use a SET TEXTMERGE TO... and then TEXT....ENDTEXT and write out your data.

I'm sure that other UT members can think of even more options :)

In otherwords, I need to be able to export data that contains all the normal fields combined with the contents of memo fields for multiple records into a single file.

>>Don, You can use COPY MEMO MemoField TO FileName to get the memo data out into a text file. Then use Excel to read it in. Under Excel's File - Open set the file type to prn, csv, txt.
