Hello Bill, Memos are a "long text" field type which can be found in Access and many other database systems. MapInfo has no native memo field type and can't do anything with memos from other databases either. Such field are just ignored as you have read.

No warning will be displayed." What exactly are these "memo fields" that are mentioned? Thanks in advance for any enlightment that is provided!
