Perry,
A single string constant (ie "something inside quotes") can not exceed 254 characters. You can use + to concatenate chunks of string constants into a much longer string.
>I am trying to insert from a cursor into SQL Server tables. The table has 169 fields (don't ask!!). When I try to create the insert statement, I get an operator/operand error. Does VFP 6 have limits on the number of charaters in a character string variable?
