Hi Traci Wouldn't casting to varchar(255) chop off any extra characters? The software we are having problems with is a custom DB tool we use to inspect any table / SQL result set. So we could have zero to many memo fields - making the dbmemo a no go.
I suppose we will have to add a popup screen / ellipse button to each of these fields. Oh well just thought someone might have know a quick and dirty solution :) Rob Martin Software Engineer phone 03 377 0495 fax 03 377 0496 web www.chreos.com Wild Software Ltd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Traci Sumpter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 3:17 PM Subject: RE: [DUG] Memo fields > I know I have the same problem in Postgres and oracle.
