on a form I have a memo field (isn't NOT a formatted memo, just a plan
memo field)

in code I have the following (on a test button)
var
vMemo memo
endvar

vMemo = myMemoField
vMemo = vMemo + " " + string(today())
myMemoField = vMemo


When I check the syntax, I get Error: Incompatible types

so I tried this
var
vMemo memo
vStr string
endvar

vStr = string(today())
vMemo = myMemoField
vMemo = vMemo + vStr
myMemoField = vMemo

same error.

Anyone got insight into this.  I just need to add todays date at the end
of the memo field.

Thanks,
Kevin
