>APPEND BLANK and GATHER MEMVAR is the old approach, from the FoxPro days. The modern, and much better, approach, is to use buffering.

I know a lot us of are using buffering - and gathers - but those guys are slow!

Performance seems better with hard assigned replaces and hard points - the apps behave more like a C++ than a C/S ADO implementation. Those old low level pointers and assignments are a lot quicker than binding and pointer macro engines (like table update, etc).

Fox team - keep those features (please)!
