A REAL Filepro manual or just charge my ass and help me out with this memo exporting please

[Bruce Easton]

Mike - the syntax you showed:

Then: MEMO invy(367) EXPORT "c:\memo.txt"

should be correct, although I don't have or see anywhere a working 
example of this for Windows filepro, so I can't speak to the path/file 
portion at the end (does it need more than one backslash for 
instance?).  Does filepro have permissions to write a file to the C drive?

Since I'm assuming that you are running your "export multi invfile..." 
from Request Output and not I/U/A, I would first try to select one 
record to see if you can get the memo export to output the memo field 
data to a file from that one pass of d/rreport.
