Arne,

Are you typing the SQL into the property sheet? If so that is limited because of the way VFP handles the memo field where the properties are stored.

If you are setting it in code, VFP has a limit of 256 characters for a single string constant so you have to use code like:

... = "select blah, blah, blah" + ;
   "from MyTable"

>On a form is a page with a ListBox. The list box data source is an SQL statement. But, when I'm entering the actual statement, VFP 5.0 truncates at 256 chars! Argh! Is this 'unchangeable' behaviour or am I missing something (the docs are of no help)? Surely 256 characters for an SQL statement is way too few?
