Hello Michael, With the help of Dave Crozier, I switched all my FPT files to DBF files using string splitting and rebuilding functions (on Eds download page). I still display the strings in an edit box, but store and retrieve from DBF files. Several advantages are, there are no FPT files to get corrupt, to FPT bloat, and it only has to retrieve the records for the memo in question. HTH, Kent
