600 memo fields means 600 records, right? In this case, go ahead. There's nothing to worry about.

>I've got a couple of memo fields in one of my tables. We're thinking about putting a complete explanation in the memo fields which means it would go in about 600 memo fields (for each pc in the inventory).

But the field chosen by the array is not one of these memo fields. So I'm thinking the addition of all that text in the memo field won't slow that part of the program down.
