Hi Sergey

The Error is "String too long"

It's The & Commande and the Evaluate function that are limited if you look at the help file for Evaluate you find this .:

EVALUATE(cExpression)
cExpression cannot exceed 255 characters

For & commande
& VarName[.cExpression]
& VarName
The macro should not exceed the maximum statement length permitted in Visual FoxPro.

Any Idea ?
Thanks
Benoit


>The limit of 255 characters is only applcable to a string literal. The string has limit of 16,777,184 characters. The maximum # of characters per macro substituted line 8,192. As you can see you didn't reach any of those limits. What error do you get?
