Dbase Memo field Conversion 1

[jmcd0719]

When using a file created in Dbase, the memo field is automatically converted to Visual Foxpro 6.0.

However, I have to click Yes to remove the DBASE 'soft' carriage returns, each time I open the file.

I have set compatible DB4 NOPROMPT and that eliminates the initial prompt for converting to Visual Foxpro, but the "remove DBASE 'soft' carriage return still shows.

Thanks

SET SAFETY OFF
This will help you avoid the prompt, I think. ramani :-9

Thanks, set safety off doesn't eliminate the problem. But I did find a solution posted from December that works, however it adds an additional program line prior to opening a file.

KEYBOARD '{ENTER}' CLEAR

But I am searching for a better solution if it's out there.

Does this table still have to use DBase? If not, why not take the data, massage it and put it in a genuine FP table? This would let you remove any characters you don't want. -- DED
