Mark,
The length of a string constant in VFP is limited to 255 characters. To get a string longer that that you just have to
+ smaller strings. You can also not enter on the property sheet a string longer that 255 characters. If you set the property value in code you can get around this.
lcMyLittleString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz "
lcMyBigString = lcMyLittleString + lcMyLittleString + lcMyLittleString
? len( lcMyLittleString ), len( lcMyBigString )
