Why not - just data drive the code and send the memo contents via SQL Passthru to the back end.

>>>What would be the technique for running code from a memo field? So far, I have created Table.precode which has the written program, Table.precode2 has the compiled code. This is accomplished by writing the code to a file via modify command, saving, and compiling. Cut and paste the code from the .fxp to the Table.precode2 memo field. No luck so far with DO table.precode2 or DO &Table.precode2. I am looking at this as a way of setting up the environment for reports because the report processor FRX2WORD does not honor all of the code in the report methods. Any advice is appreciated!
