Hi Nadya,

>You have to use padr(left(myMemo,254),254) (or any reasonable number) or better to use another control, idea of which was discussed here recently. I'll try to find the thread info for you, if needed.

Why use padr(left(myMemo,254),254) when padr(myMemo,254) will do the same thing?

PADL(), PADR() and PADC() will always return a string with the length of the second parameter.

Regards,
