>>Hi,
>>
>>I am having a crazy problem that I can't seem to understand. In a command button click method I create a cursor. I add one record to the cursor. One of the fields of the cursor is type M. This field is on a report set to Stretch with Overflow. When I set a string into this field of about 1340 characters or more the report prints many, many pages (I usually stop after about 30-40). If I set the string of less than 1340 (approx) the report prints on one page. What I don't understand is why it goes from 1 page to many, many. Logically I could see it going from 1 to 2 pages but why to so many?

I don't know about chr(12) but I will check it. But when I tested it with just populating a string with REPL('1', 1340) so that string didn't have any chr(12) for sure and I still had a problem. Strange.

And I only print to a PDF printer driver since I don't have a printer at home.

Thank you.
