>>>Anyone know a good way to pass memos longer than 255? Sybase has a varchar type which has a max of 255. The Sybase people will store them as multiple varchar records plus ID. They think I should split my memos up for them into vfp char strings plus ID. I think they should open the memo as a text and parse it themselves, but they say they can't do it. There are quite a few memos in different tables, otherwise we wouldn't be debating this. Anyone have experience with this ?

If it is System 10 or above, then the text field type will map quite nicely. It's got a maximum length of 2 ^ 31 - 1. I think that will qualify. ;-).
