Retrieves variables and variable arrays saved in a variable file or a memo field and places them into memory.

RESTORE FROM FileName | MEMO MemoFieldName   [ADDITIVE]

Parameters

FileName

Specifies the variable file from which the variables and arrays are restored. Variable files are assigned a .mem extension.

MEMO MemoFieldName

Specifies the memo field from which variables and arrays are restored.

ADDITIVE

Prevents any variables or arrays currently in memory from being erased. If the number of variables or arrays being added with ADDITIVE plus the number of existing variables exceeds the variable limit, Microsoft Visual FoxPro brings as many variables and arrays as possible into memory from the variable file or memo field.

If you restore a variable or array that has the same name as an existing variable or array, the value in the existing variable or array is overwritten with the value of the restored variable or array.

Remarks

Example

In the following example, two variables are created. They are saved to a variable file and restored without clearing the existing variables.

	Copy Code
gnVal1 = 50 gcVal2 = 'Hello' SAVE TO temp CLEAR MEMORY gdVal3 = DATE( ) RESTORE FROM temp ADDITIVE CLEAR DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE g*
