>Hello all.

>I have a form using memory variable created with SCATTER MEMVAR. One textbox control is ties to M.ACCOUNT which I need to use in a subsequent seek. The database field it represents is 10 characters, but the length of the variable ends up being more, based on the width of the textbox. The account field is part of a compound (? right terminoligy ?) index i.e. ACCOUNT + DTOS(DATE) and so the variable needs to end up being exactly 10 characters. I know I could PADR(ALLTRIM()) it but this will probably be a common occurance. Is there any way I can force the textbox to store a 10 character variable short of changing its width or tying it directly to a field in a table?

What happens if you set maxlength prop. to 10?
