I am doing a comma delimited file and using the copy to . . . . . .
delimited and everything works fine on my machine and a couple of other test
machines. I am exporting 17 fields to the file with the last field being a
memo field. We have one customer out in the field that when the file is
created everything writes fine but the memo field only shows the first
letter of the memo and nothing else. Any idea as to what can cause this???

I still don't understand why then that it works on all of the other test
machines???

Would I be able to use FPUTS() for a memo then.

Yes, that is what I did. Or you can:

SELECT *, PADR(MyMemo, nMaxLength) as LastField ;
FROM MyTable ;
INTO CURSOR curTemp

SELECT curTemp
COPY TO NewFile.csv [...]

where nMaxLength is the longest string that you care to allow for MyMemo
(but is less than Fox's maximum string memvar length).
