I have a file in filepro,  Inventory the description field is (35,*) a field 
length of 35
this usually works there are a few items that we need to enter a detail 
description
of this item. I'm thinking of adding a memo field (16,memo) 16 in length.

I have two questions can someone answer them for me.

This file has 1310859 records by adding this field to the file what will it 
do for disk space
does every record get memo field a how much space will it take up?

also while browsing into this file can I use a @BK="M"  to display the memo 
field for
that record. Just to have it popup and display the memo details of this 
record user cannot edit just view?

Any thoughts
Denny Diller
