filetostr not working

[rdd1963]

I would like to store some text from a .txt file to a memory variable. Below is what I did, but It does not work. invmemo still does not have the string from the text file. Any suggestions.

...
ans = messagebox("Do you want to add a memo to the invoice?", 36, "ADD MEMO")
if ans = 6
memofilename=GETFILE('txt',"","",2,'Add a .txt file to memo')
invmemo = filetostr(memofilename)
endif
...

Upon further testing. I copied the text out of the original file into another file and it worked fine.

REPLACE invmemo with filetostr(memofilename)

or

APPEND MEMO invmemo FROM memofilename
