Would large memo field (1.4GB) cause "Not enough memory" ...???

[dduva]

Would a large memo field (1.4GB) cause "Not enough memory to complete this operation" error during a replace of multiple fields. The DBF itself is only 3.1MB. Thanks for you help.

Try managing the memory explicitly. VFP thinks there is more memory available than there is. Try limiting it with SYS(3050). Take a look at faq184-3504.

Also, try PACKing the table in case the memo is bloated. It might reduce the memo file greatly.

In addition
You must first open the table exclusively before using the PACK command.
PACK [MEMO | DBF] [Tablename ] [IN nWorkarea | cTableAlias]
in order to pack the memo you must include the MEMO clause
