FoxPro Q&A (Con't from page 4)

REPLACE rpttbl.child2 WITH rpttbl.child2+Ijstring+CHR(1 3)

*Append this line to the memo field in new parent ENDSCAN

Now you have a new parent table that you can report as a flat file, putting

the memos side by side if required.

If you need subtotals for the child etc.,

1. Calculate those with an SQL SELECT

2. Add dummy fields to hold them when you do the first select, to add the

dummy memos to the parent, and then fill them in with a scan.
