>>Hi Giedrius,
>>For VFP 254 is Character type field limit not string limit. A VFP string can be as large as 2 Gb and command line 8192 bytes. Virtually this means you could have a 2Gb string at a command line (no macro substitution).

VBA_grp.hlp (..\msapps\msgraph5)or vbagrp8.hlp (..\Microsoft office\Office). I "steal" the PEM from there. Again hlp is for VB (as M$ always do) and the real trouble is VB constants. I couldn't find a reference for those constants yet.
BTW: autoformat(14, 1) works with MSGraph5 but I think they've changed the VB constants for MSGraph8. I built a simple form (above is init code with of course 10 instead of 2000) and there I have 2 textboxes feeding autoformat values to graph. autoformat(-1 to 5,1) works ! No documentation for autoformat in vbgrp8.hlp.
Do you know a way to reveal out (or pass as Constant name) those constants ?
