Large field not getting recorded

[Boaz Bezborodko]

A few days ago I wrote about having problems loading a file into MEMO.  
Instead of using MEMO I was told about WORDWRAP.  But I am now getting a 
different problem.

I changed the memo field from a 16,memo to a 148,*.  But when the record 
is being recorded 201 is getting cleared.  When I go through the table 
using DEBUG the program is properly loading 201, but when I look at it 
again afterwards, 201 is blank.

I thought that maybe this was a problem or bug due to switching the 
field from memo to *.  SO I tried creating a new field also with 148,* 
and loading both with the same data.  In both cases the fields are 
loaded with the data during an import, but are empty when I look at them 
later.

At no point do I do anything with these fields other than when I load 
them with the data.

What could be causing this?  It's really holding me up on my programming 
since my code is working all except for this.
