Yeah, you'd have to copy the fox files 'TYPE FOXPLUS' to make the memo files look like dbase memo files. At least they look like dBaseIII memo files. I don't know about dBaseIV. I guess it could get messy.
Too bad about FormFlow. I remember thinking at the time that it seemed to be way ahead of any other similar apps.

We ended up having the users fill in the data on screen since this was still much better than using a typewriter - and I could not devote more time to the project to "make it work" at that time.

>>It's been many moons since I even thought about Delrina's FormFlow, but I seem to have a recollection that the fields in a FormFlow form could be linked to a dbase III type dbf table. Are you sure they can't use what they already have with some changes to handle getting the data from a table which Fox can certainly provide?
