have you tried this: open file theFile for read put 0 into tOffset repeat while it is not empty ## or eof or something like that read from file for 80 at tOffset+1 put it & cr after temp add 80 to tOffset end repeat close file theFile put temp into fld X You get the idea, I didn't test it. -- __________________________ Regards, Andu _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
