Can someone help !!!????

Does anyone know how I can retrieving text from word documents, and then append it to a memo field

I can do it vice versa, but not from word to vfp

With VFP 3 you may have to use DDE conversations to get the data you want. But I haven't used it so I'm hoping someone else will come along and help you. If you're still blowing in the wind when I get up in the morning I'll try adding some more details.

If you are using the 32-bit version of VFP 3.0 under a 32-bit version of Windows (as opposed to the Win32s version of VFP 3.0 under Win 3.x), you should be able to use automation. There are numerous examples and techniques used in this forum - just do a search, and for more detailed examples consider getting "Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro" at
