Hi!

dodefault() is not required in the Refresh event when you have no any other code there.
The limit is strange, it does not crash always, however, in one my app I did had crash and it disappeared as soon as I limited field length to 200.
Try to use expression like padr(alltrim(worksum1)+" "+alltrim(worksum2),200), this probably can help.
Finally, if this read-only record set is just a result of the query, you can prepare this field in the query, so grid will have to show only the field.

HTH.
