You cannot include a memo field in a DBF export even with a later release of R&R.____Kathleen__R&R Support

If you do a CSV export, the contents of the Xbase memo field will be included and can be pulled-up in Excel.____hth

Is there anyway to keep from loosing the leading zeros in text fields when exporting to a csv as excel treats the field as numeric and eliminates the leading zeros.

just insert a dummy row as the first row with characters in the field being treated as numeric - that causes excel to keep it as text. Later just delete the dummy row. make sure that dummy row contains data in all the other fields of the type you desire.____example__(NEW DUMMY ROW) ABCD __ORIGINAL FIRST ROW 0456__etc__
