Hello All,

I've got a problem with the macro (&) substitution. I've got a table with error messages that call some program functions. These error messages are executed with a macro like:

lcMacro = table.errorcommand
lctext = &lcMacro
messagebox(lctext)

Where table.errorcommand is a memo field.

The problem is that with long error messages (>255 chars) this will not work anymore. I've seen a reference in the manual that sais "The string in the macro command cannot exceed the maximum statement length. BUT there is no actual number on how long the maximum statement length is.

So my question is: Does anyone know what the max. statement length is and also some suggestions on how to solve this problem would be much appriciated.

TIA,

Wim Dieke
