I can't help you with the problem you state, but another work around would be to SELECT INTO CURSOR and APPEND from that. I'll bet that would beat the array problem because the fields in the cursor would have the same size limitation as the table.

Are you doing anything to the numbers before you re-append them?

>When trying to do a select into an array and then an append from array I get numeric overflow errors even when appending back onto the table that I selected from in the first place, this doesnt seem to happen when I use Copy to Array and then apend from array.
