My program has to import some data from an old Clipper S87 program. The
import works fine except that allof the CR/LF's in the memo's now appear as
graphics (hex 8D 0A). The 'new' files are Fox CDX. 
Could I have prevented this on import or do I have to do a search/replace on
the imported memos?

Gary,

Here is what I used:

SELECT 0
USE DataBase
GO TOP
DO WHILE !EOF()
  REPLACE MemoField WITH MEMOTRAN(MemoField, " ", " ")
  SKIP
ENDDO

You might also look into HardCr()

Rick

Thank you -that WAS easy! I had totally forgotten about memotran()
