Mike,
Do you know anyone at TEK-TIPS,com?
They will not let me logon, and I know it is because of numerous email changes in the last two years. But I go to the problem page and do not get a response. Mike Lewis did not have a contact, but I thought you might.
Sorry to post this here, but did not know how else to contact you.
Pat

Ilya,
My guess about the 65,000 limit has something to do with the interactibility with Excel. It has a row limit of 65,000+ records when copying to a xls in VFP 8.0. Not sure about limits in other versions, except 5.0, which only copies to xl5 format with a limit of 16,383 records. VFP 8.0 actually copies the table out to a later Excel format which will accept the 65,000+ record structure.

Remember, MS tried to incorporate VFP into the MS Developers Suite(1997) and failed. Your problem may be a legacy to that effort.
