In that case, you could: LIST OFF NOCONSOLE alltrim(string(FilePK))+ [,"] + FileMemo + ["] to file Barney.CSV and you'll get a CSV file with the file primary key (FilePK in this case) followed by a comma and the Memo field in quotes. YMMV, of course, and you might want to wrap a function call around FileMemo to your own UDF to strip out quotation marks, or carriage returns or the like. For extra credit, you could use LLFFs to lop off the top line of the file that holds the field names, or tell your import program to ignore it. -- Ted "There are 3 ways to do anything in FoxPro, or no way at all" Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/CACW6n4ujV7mEr+u7m=dajen3riw9rpzf9j32hqpxgf7a1my...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
