I tried modifying my textbox class that I use inside all my grids with the following code:

LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord
IF !EMPTY(This.cMemoField) AND TYPE(This.cMemoField) = "M"
This.ToolTipText = LEFT(EVAL(This.cMemoField), This.nMemoLength)
ENDIF


I set the cMemoField to the field name of my memo field (myTable.myMemo).
I set the nMemoLength to 30.

In the debugger when I check the "LEFT(EVAL(This.cMemoField), This.nMemoLength)
" expression, it has the correct value. But, after the assignment to the ToolTipText property, the property remains empty ("").

What gives?
