Jos,

You are right, the binary memo does work correctly, so the null character is causing an end of string. I was trying to avoid memo, but I may not have a choice?

I also need to store this in a SQL database, I will have to test the field types there. Thanks for your help and quick replies.

Kind Regards,

Mat
