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 :)

I know I have the same problem in Postgres and oracle.  Often a cast or
convert to varchar(255) will cure most evils.  If this is not suitable use
   

a
 

TDBmemo along side the datagrid

Hi All
We have a few Firebird DB fields that are greater than 255 characters (all
varChars).  In grids these show as memo fields and are not easily
accessible.  Is there any way to change the default behaviour to make
   

these
 

values visible?
