V14.5 Windows has a similar problem. Import a ton of text into the database, but <200,000 characters show up in the text-edit field for viewing and editing. There's LOTS of free memory, do that's not the problem. Realize that what the editing field displays and what ends up stored in the database *might* be different. The displayed editing field truncates the text in my tests. Furthermore, even with truncated text shown in the text-editing field, I can programmatically access and change the full text. I have not run any tests to determine what happens if I manually change the truncated text in the text-editing field. I don't know if that change then causes the truncated text to be saved to the database. -Steve Makohin ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
