The contents of a memo field can be exported to a text file without using an XCMD.

The following code example exports data in a memo field to a text file called Memo.txt from the Video.dbf database file in the FoxBase2.01:Sample subfolder: USE Video GO TOP SET PRINTER TO Memo.txt SET PRINT ON     DO WHILE !EOF ? DESCRIPT ? &quot;&quot; SKIP ENDDO SET PRINT OFF SET PRINTER TO This code also exports the record number of the contents of each memo. Issuing a &quot;SET TALK OFF&quot; command at the beginning of the code snippet turns this feature off. The text file can then be viewed in applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
