Hi John,

> I heard that variable onle able to store 255 charcters, is it true?

I suppose, you are mixing up variabled and fields. A field can indeed only hold 254 chracters, but a string can contain up to 16 MB. If you need to store longer texts than 254 characters, you have to use a memo field.

>how to retrieve word by word from memo?

Check out the WORDS(), WORDNUM() and NEXTWORD() functions in FoxTools.FLL. In the library here you find a document by George Tasker that describes these functions and other functions in FoxTools.FLL more in detail.
