Bill,

This is a truely annoying problem that I first ran into with the code that creates the articles for my website from the memo fields that hold the article content. This goes back all the way to VFP3.

It's realted to SET MEMOWIDTH and unfortunately you can not set memowidth to a value that will work properly.

My workaround is to use a loop that chunks out the big string 512 bytes at a time. You can use a UDF:

function TextChunk( lcString )

do while ! empty( lcString ) 
   \\<<left( lcString, 512 )>>
   if ( len( lcString ) > 512 )
      lcString = substr( lcString, 513 )
   else
      lcString = ""
   endif
enddo

>lc = <SomeString>  && len(lc)=1140
>TEXT NoShow
>  <<lc>>
>ENDTEXT
