Hi Judith,
You can't do it directly as the option ignores memo fields. Copying to
a CSV you could select out say the first 250 chars of the memo field
(along with your other data) and then do a COPY TO with that data type CSV
If your csv file has been written in this format you can append into a
cursor with a field 250 chars for the memo, then insert this into your
proper memo field.
