I've resolved things by informing the sybase team that they must do the Memo formatting, now that I know they have a Text type, even if it's not perfect...Thanks for clueing me in.

I think the PB/sybase people will not be able to use the varchar in their editable data windows, anyway. Can you imagine trying to code select/cut/copy/paste actions for multiple varchar lines in a datawindow?
Aghhh! (s) They need to get that Text type working, somehow...
