>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?

Create the Query as a cursor or P-View prior to setting up the listbox, and then use the Alias or Fields RowSourceType for the ListBox. Add a Requery() for the source in the ListBox's Requery method.
