Hi!
I did found it through testing. Though, as I already said, take a look to the "VFP System Capacities" page in the help file - "Maximum length of a string literal" limitation value is probably what is discussed here (it is 255 in that table).

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
