Storage is storage, strings, variables, either may wind up being used as a macro substitution -- esp ( if rumor proves true ) next version of Visual Foxpro will come with dynamic methods for objects which will require a lot of code substitution -- probably stored in fields or variables or self - modifying ( truly polymorphic ). Anyway, I did not specifically see the request as anything more or less than limits on storage of one "field" which may or may not precisely mean a field of a table.

PS -- do appreciate promptness of your replies.
