In eariler version of VFP the following works fine:
select IntergerField, MemoField from TableA;
union select IntergerField, MemoField from TableB
In VFP 9.0 beta, the same code produces the following error message:
"Operation is invalid for a Memo ... field.

This appears to be a bug or a "by design" bug.
Is this a bug?
Has it been reported?
Any thoughts?
