Hello Geert

I had that problem some years ago.

I think I ended up writing a UDF to return multiple bites out of the memo field in convenient page sized chunks.

For example I would call bitememo(mymemo,x) where x represented which chunk I wanted.

I then embedded the function in my report multiple times ie

bitememo(mymemo,1)
bitememo(mymemo,2)
bitememo(mymemo,3)

I then set the last 2 instances of it to be Blank if Empty.

I I was only able to do this because I knew that there was a limit on the size of the memo field that was returned to me.

I expect there is a proper fix to the problem that someone will be able to tell you if you keep the thread going long enough.

Good Luck
