My presumption was that VFP will buffer, but will write to the file when the buffer is 'full'. Now it appears that everything is written to the buffer (in memory) and that the whole buffer isn't written to the file before the actual closure of the file.

Hi Peter,

You may try two things:
1. Call FFLUSH() function say every 10,000 records
2. Use unbuffered output file. With Windows buffering in place it shouldn't make much difference.
