>Does anyone know if there is a setting to allow the length of a line of code extend to more than 254 in the method windows?

There's no such limit in a method. There is such a limit in the property sheet for a property. I'm guessing that's what you mean. :)

Don't enter longish properties in the property sheet. Do it in code usually in the init of the object.

lots of text or formulas or whatever
