Are you using VFP 3.0?

The problem is with String properties. In 5.0 string properties were
limited to just under 1 meg. THis limitation has been removed in VFP 6.

I don't know what it is in 3.0, but I'm sure that it's more than 1000 chars <s>.

No issues existed for strings to plain variables...
