Copying FoxPro 6.0 data to text files with memo fields 1

[AWilliams]

I'm moving data from foxpro 6.0 tables to a text file but the contents of the memo fields are not copied. Is there anyway to take the all contents of the table (.dbf) and their associated memo fields in the .fpt file into the same text delimited file?

There isn't a variant of COPY TO or EXPORT that works with Memo fields. The best available (at least that I've found) is the code in

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q241424

- "HOWTO: Export Memo Fields with Other Field Types to a Text File (Q241424)".
