Yes I understand description is default to a character field but in the cursoradapter the field is defined in the schema as a memo field, so I was just dreaming the cursor created blowed up the 254 char limit ( the cursoradapter knows it's a memo and created it as a memo ! but limit's the value to 254 char when the source is not a single memo field)

Would you please give me more information about the UseMemoSize property when DataSourceType is "Native"
The code you post don't give any errors but don't return any records.
If you set the lNodata parameter to false in the CursorFill method the error is back.
