Hi Colin

>Yuck!

Precisely :)

>Interestingly, if you set _REPORTBUILDER="" and use the native, VFP8-era dialogs to enter your long expression (using the expression builder) then it *appears* to work ok, but if you take a look at your expression after saving, you can see that it has only saved the first 255 characters of your expression, and it will fail to run correctly.

That I have previously observed, but at least all else is safe.

Allowed to?

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
