Hi Ben,

According to VFP Team it's not a bug. The Maxlength property should be specified for textbox bound to a varchar field to properly handle the # of allowed characters.

>I don't know if you will agree. I'd regard the following behavior as a bug for binding a varchar field to a textbox, no matter in a form (affected by the textbox width) or a grid/browse (affected by the column width).
>
>Run the following code and see how many "i" characters you can enter into each textbox. The maximum number of "i" characters I can enter are (default font Arial,9):
>11 in the 1st textbox (bug)
>16 in the 2nd textbox (correct)
>16 in the 3rd textbox (correct)
>21 in the 4th textbox (bug)
>
>When you resize the form, you will find that the numbers will change (1st and 4th textboxes).

>Append Blank
>o=Createobject('TestForm')
>o.Show(1)

>Define Class TestForm as Form
>	Add Object txt1 As Textbox With ControlSource='F1', Anchor=10, Width=70
>	Add Object txt4 As Textbox With ControlSource='F2', Anchor=10, Width=70, Top=30

>	Add Object txt3 As Textbox With ControlSource='F4', Anchor=10, Width=120, Top=90
