copy as memo from table to table (paradox)

Gil,

Try Table1.(Fieldbyname('memofld1')as
TMemoField).Assign(Table2.Fieldbyname('memofld2')as TMemoField);

Remember without doing the cast you are calling TField's assign method
and not TMemoField's assign method. (Not really certain you need to
cast Memofld2 in the above.)

It gets a lot less convoluted if you use persistent field objects:

Table1MemoFld1.Assign(Table2MemoFld2);

Re:copy as memo from table to table (paradox)

tbl2.fieldvalues['memo']:=tbl1.fieldvalues['memo'];

At least I don't remember the above syntax ever not working for me.

Cheers,
JB
