The 129K is not the relevant number. If you first compile the script, then
copy and paste the text to a text window in Smile (or Tex-Edit Plus or
another text editor which can handle more than 32K) and save it as text, the
size of that text file is the relevant amount. But that's as styled text. As
plain text it will be much, much less. I don't know if there are any
limitations on maximum amount of text per variable. but it sounds like the
amount in question is 64K or so.
What happens if you manually copy the 64K-worth of text from Filemaker to
your clipboard, then try to paste it into an Entourage new message window? i
just pasted the text of a very big script (140 K as a script, bigger than
your 129 K script) into Entourage, once as plain text, once as HTML.
I was able to save the message both times. As plain text it's 94 K in size.
As HTML, it's 329 K. There's obviously no 32K limit in Entourage message.
The problem is elsewhere.
