storing code in memo

[GarryC]

Hi,
Anyone know how I can store code in a memo, then retrieve it and run it. I am using OLE to create a spreadsheet and send formatted data to the spreadsheet. What I want to do is store the code ina memo so I can change it easily. Is this possible?

Cheers,
Garry

Garry,

You can use the EXECSCRIPT() function. I know it's in VFP 7 and 8... not sure about 6. example:

EXECSCRIPT(myTable.MyMemo)

If this function doesn't exist in the version you are using I guess you could copy the code to a .PRG on disk, COMPILE it and then DO it.

Gary,

Just to add to what Andy stated, not only can you do it, but it is done often by developers.
