    Exporting memo fields to Excel

    Hi all. I have a memo field in a DBF that holds up to 5 lines of an address. I would like to create a cursor file with the 5 extracted lines of character data and export that to an Excel file, but I seem to be having a few problems with the MLINE function. Is there a better way? Thanks. Andy.

    Turn off the sound

    Hi all. I would like to turn off the sounds made during running of my application, say when user clicks on a "Save" button, or an information message is displayed. I've tried adding SET BELL OFF to my startup program but this doesn't seem to make any difference. Many thanks. Andy.

    FOXUSER on the Desktop

    Hi all. I've written a thread on this subject before, but I'm still having problems. I can't stop the FOXUSER files from appearing on the desktop when I run my application. I've tried SET RESOURCE pathname\FOXUSER to no avail. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Andy.
